Bloomington to take part in heat mapping survey

"NOAA’s Urban Heat Island mapping campaign is in its eighth year, and according to the agency, a lack of vegetation and extensive pavement can cause neighborhoods to be upwards of 20 degrees warmer than nearby areas.

Participating volunteers are given devices that easily attach to a vehicle or a bike which take humidity and temperature readings and store the observations."
