Summary:

"The compounding effects of climate change and rapid urbanisation cause cities to heat up. Metropolitan Sydney is no exception to this trend. Today, the communities of Campbelltown in the southern region of the Greater Sydney Basin already experience extreme summer temperatures and heatwave conditions on an annual basis. Climate predictions point toward amplification of summer heat. Already today these conditions represent a serious threat to the quality of life, public health and economic prosperity in the region. [...] Here, we report apparent microclimatic variation across this LGA."--Executive summary.
