Urban Heat Islands Causing 76% of Bengaluru City to Face Higher Temperatures

Bengaluru
Land use classification for Bengaluru (a) land uses based on classification of Sentinel data (10 m resolution), (b) the proportion of LU in 30 x 30 m pixels (based on LU of 10 x 10 m Sentinel). Source: Ramachandra et. al, 2025.

New research in Bengaluru reveals that unchecked urban growth, replacing natural landscapes with concrete, dramatically intensifies urban heat islands, underscoring the critical need for green spaces and water bodies to maintain livable temperatures.
