In urban areas surface temperatures are higher than in surrounding rural areas. This phenomenon is called urban heat Island (UHI). This phenomenon was investigated by the comparison of the mean temperatures from two measurement points in urban and suburban areas from 2010 to 2013. The observed systematic temperature differences validate the occurrence of UHI of diverse intensities in different parts of the urban area which can be partially connected with the foothills location of the city.
