Auckland Urban Heat Assessment provides a highly detailed map of how temperatures vary across Auckland and the factors influencing these temperatures. Temperature predictions were generated using climate modelling tools, data from local climate monitoring stations, high resolution land cover data, and census data. The dataset was generated over a five-month period from 1stNovember 2021 to 31stMarch 2022, which coincided with Auckland's hottest summer on record.

The datasets are useful to support communication on heat-related hazards and to inform decision making and planning for future heat impacts. The data is also useful to find synergies in heat and carbon mitigation solutions and to inform climate change risk assessment for Auckland.
