CANUE staff developed annual estimates of maximum mean warm-season land surface temperature (LST) recorded by LandSat 8 at 30m resolution. To reduce the effect of missing data/cloud cover/shadows, the highest mean warm-season value reported over three years was retained - for example, the data for 2021 represent the maximum of the mean land surface temperature at a pixel location between April 1st and September 30th in 2019, 2020 and 2021. Land surface temperature was calculated in Google Earth Engine, using a public algorithm (see supplementary documentation). In general, annual mean LST may not reflect ambient air temperatures experienced by individuals at any given time, but does identify areas that are hotter during the day and therefore more likely to radiate excess heat at night - both factors that contribute to heat islands within urban areas.
