You may not be able to tell from the weather, but it's National Heat Awareness Day! As the summer heats up, you may start to hear more about the urban heat island effect.

Last year, UNF Professor Adam Rosenblatt, PhD and a group of volunteers studied the magnitude of urban heat in Jacksonville. You can see from the heatmap photos that an area with canopy cover was a full 25 degrees cooler than the exposed asphalt around it.

A key solution: Green it up and plant trees!
