Scientists call this the urban heat island effect because, when you look at a map of temperatures, cities will appear as hot “islands” surrounded by a cooler “ocean” of lower temperatures in the surrounding areas. Nowhere in the United States has this been more evident recently than in Puerto Rico after Hurricane María in 2017.
