2020 H3AT Mapping Campaign

On August 7, 2020, 84 community services volunteers measured Harris County’s hottest and coolest places during a one-day heat mapping campaign. They captured temperature and humidity data across the region at three different times of day (6-7 a.m., 3-4 p.m., and 7-8 p.m.). 

The Houston Harris Heat Action Team (H3AT) used the data collected by the community volunteers to develop temperature maps of the region for those three times on August 7th. These maps have helped the City of Houston, Harris County, and its partners design projects and policies that address heat-related health issues across the region.
