Researchers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory have created a series of maps showing land-surface temperatures in the Phoenix area in July 2023, when the city experienced a record-breaking run of hot weather. The images reveal the cumulative effect – overnight and across the month – of relentless daytime heating. Animated image

(A) Hourly change in LUE (expressed as a percentage) during the heatwave compared to normal years. (B) Probability distribution of diurnal centroid change in response to daily LUE decrease for three different situations: daily decrease of LUE ≤ 0, 20, and 50%, respectively. (C) Hourly LUE change over the course of the day for three different situations: drylands with Ta_ano ≥ 1 (pink circles); drylands with Ta_ano ≥ 2 (red circles), and nondrylands with Ta_ano ≥ 1 (black squares). -- Science
