anchor: hot days may feel worse than they are. we have reported on practices that are making cities hotter than they otherwise would be. drew tuma joins us live with a look at heat islands. drew: urban heat islands. you might be surprised which bay area city made the list. watching the cool color gray fog rolled in, it may stretch your imagination to consider san francisco a heat island, but not when you consider the criteria. >> we are saying that geography and landscape if it was not the way it was, you would be colder. drew: in a recently released study, climate central rank san francisco number five on the list of the top 20 urban heat islands nationwide. the index ranks the heat

patterns in the city against its natural outline area, focusing on the man-made factors that he'd it up. >> the things that heat it up. -- the things that keep it up. it points to things the trap hot air, building and road materials that absorb heat. in a scarcity of natural environmental coolers. they say that can add up to 87 degrees increase in average temperature during summer months. the forces that come together to create urban heat islands can be complicated, but luckily there are things cities can do to cool things down a little. one person with the san francisco asteroid institute is working with the city as part of a large-scale planning project called next-generation urban greening. >> to help them figure out how to maximize urban greening, tree canopy, stormwater

infrastructure. drew: san francisco has introduced programs that allows storm water to penetrate sidewalks, but the challenge is to denser and sometimes lower income neighborhoods, where the buildings and sidewalks were not laid out to accommodate trees. >> it is a challenge with the affordability and housing crisis , because we need to make the cities denser, but we need to make them greener at the same time. drew: solutions include reconfiguring sidewalks, adding roof gardens, and adding heat reflective building and road material, challenge that would take planning, perhaps block by block. >> you can think about the changes we need to do that. >> we know we expect the claimant to continue changing, so we can better build for the future. drew: according to climate central, several desert cities in the southwest did not make

the list, because even though they are warm from natural heat, the building materials and layouts take advantage of the cooling opportunities available. anchor: thank you so much. coming up next, an update on breaking news come a people evacuating because of the fire burning right now in el dorado county. anchor: also, are we done with distance learning? anchor: tomorrow, join us for a new event featuring the life and career of kobe bryant. airs wednesday night at 10:00.
