Dataset description

Brussels-Capital Region : Mapping of urban cool / heat islands in the Brussels-Capital Region carried out in 2018. This heat stress simulation is based on the modelling of the average "Wet Bulb Globe Temperature" over 24 hours which takes into account the air temperature but also the exposure to solar radiation, wind and air humidity for a typical hot summer day (i.e. 24 August 2016). The study report (in Dutch) is available at http://document.environnement.brussels/opac_css/elecfile/Cartografie_Koelte_Eilanden_BHG See also the focus on this subject on https://environnement.brussels/lenvironnement-etat-des-lieux/en-detail/climat/cartographie-des-ilots-de-fraicheur-bruxelles (in French) or https://leefmilieu.brussels/het-leefmilieu-een-stand-van-zaken/volledige-versie/klimaat/de-koelte-eilanden-van-brussel-kaart (in Dutch)
