The purpose of the community science campaign was to determine where urban heat is concentrated in Spokane and the severity of the urban heat islands in our community. The UHI Campaign took place on July 16th, 2022 covering all 69.5 mi² of Spokane, collecting 43,988 measurements with the help of 40 volunteers. The maximum temperature recorded was 94.1°, with a temperature differential of 13.9°.
