Summary:

"The compounding effects of climate change and rapid urbanisation cause cities to heat up. The City of Parramatta in the central region of the Greater Sydney Basin already experiences extreme summer temperatures and heatwave conditions on an annual basis. Climate predictions point toward further increasing heat. These conditions represent a serious threat to the quality of life, public health and economic prosperity of the city. [...] Here, we report on microclimatic variation across the City of Parramatta Local Government Area (LGA)."-- Executive summary.
