Cette hausse constante de la température observée et projetée accentue un problème déjà connu : l'effet d'îlot de chaleur urbain (ICU). Ce phénomène se caractérise par des températures estivales plus élevées en milieux urbains que dans les zones rurales environnantes, et également entre des zones d'un périmètre intra-urbain, par exemple entre un stationnement et un parc lui étant adjacent. 2, record 1, French, - effet%20d%27%C3%AElot%20de%20chaleur
