This is where urban environments are much warmer than the surrounding rural areas, especially during hot periods, due to an abundance of paved surfaces, buildings, vehicles and thermal sources.”

The agency said: “This additional temperature in cities leads to exacerbation of heat stress and can increase deaths during hot periods,” the agency said.
