Temperature
Heat affects how we experience our city, especially during warmer months. High temperatures contribute to the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, making cities hotter than surrounding areas. Elevated temperatures can impact comfort, health, and even increase cooling costs. Reducing UHI with vegetation, water features, and shade can help create a more livable city.
- Blue (Cool): Indicates a more comfortable zone, likely with less need for cooling interventions.
- Green (Moderate): Generally comfortable for most people, but some may need extra hydration or shade.
- Yellow (Hot): Caution zone, where individuals should stay hydrated and seek shade or cooling areas. Wear loose, light-coloured clothing, wide-brimmed hat, sunnies and sunscreen when outside.
- Red (extreme): stay inside and keep out of the heat as much as possible. Plan activities early or late in the day to avoid being outside. Drink plenty of water

Humidity Humidity affects how temperatures feel to us, making warm days feel hotter or cool days feel colder. High humidity can increase discomfort during warm weather, while low humidity can lead to dry skin or respiratory issues. Balancing humidity through greening initiatives and water-sensitive urban design can improve city livability.
CO₂ Levels CO₂ levels can indicate air quality and the level of emissions in an area. Higher CO₂ levels often correlate with traffic, industrial activities, and lower vegetation. Elevated CO₂ can impact respiratory health, particularly for sensitive groups. Reducing CO₂ in cities through vegetation and reduced emissions can contribute to cleaner, healthier air.
Barometric Pressure Barometric pressure affects weather patterns and can influence comfort, particularly for individuals sensitive to pressure changes. Low pressure is often associated with storms, while high pressure brings clear skies. Understanding pressure changes can help predict and prepare for weather shifts in the city.

Elevated CO₂ can impact respiratory health, particularly for sensitive groups. Reducing CO₂ in cities through vegetation and reduced emissions can contribute to cleaner, healthier air.
- Blue (Low): Cleaner air, often with more vegetation or lower traffic.
- Green (Moderate): Normal urban CO₂ levels, suitable for most people.
- Yellow (High): Indicates potential health considerations for sensitive groups; consider reducing time spent here if sensitive to air quality.
