Check out these photos from last week's #heatmapping 🌡️ campaign with @calpubc and @CapaHeatwatch. Thanks @crystalchandes and everyone else for spending last Sunday volunteering with us!

From my recent traverse by bike with @CapaHeatwatch @greenestcity! Kudos to everyone on completing their assigned route as best they could within the hour (1.25) on this H☀️T day in the middle of a pandemic. I would bet the sensor also picked up car exhaust + HVAC along Yukon St.
