The effect of urban heat island intensity (UHII) is closely monitored in most developed countries of the world, unlike in developing countries where increased UHI effect is still a secondary concern. This study examined the spatial pattern of temperature as a precursor to describing and explaining the urban heat island (UHI) effect, and analysed th...

... distances separating the houses vary from less than 0.5m to 10m in the traditional areas and between 20m and 30m in some of the modern layouts. Figure 11 shows the variation of mean UHI intensity across the various land use types that characterise Ibadan. The high density residential land use areas had the highest value of UHI magnitude. ...

... inverse distance weighting technique was used to interpolate the point data to produce a risk probability map for assessing the heat island hot spots and showed the spatial distribution of heat island intensity in the (Figure 12). According to this map, UHI intensity that ranges from 2.8 to 3.0 o C will occur in the south western part of the metropolis (at the suburban location) and some patches of that range will probably occur in the central part of Ibadan South West LGA. ...
