Living in Carmel Valley, San Diego, comes with the reality of urban heat islands. With 80% of Americans residing in these urban heat islands, the impact of impervious surfaces cannot be ignored. Concrete and asphalt soak up sunlight, elevating the surrounding air temperatures. However, there’s hope in the form of trees, which play a crucial role in mitigating this effect. The EPA warns that vulnerable populations are at a higher risk of heat-related illnesses, making it essential to stay hydrated and take necessary precautions during the hot summer months. As we navigate urban living, let’s remember to prioritize our health and well-being in the face of rising temperatures.
