The Hot Climate of the Middle East
This book chapter includes a brief overview of the climatic and socioeconomic characteristics of Middles East. It is then scrutinizing the urban heat island (UHI) of the region in response to the recent development in its cities as well as the drastic growth in its population. Efforts to study and characterize the UHI from various perspectives, including health, energy, and outdoor thermal comfort, in addition to various implemented observational approaches and simulation techniques are then summarized using a survey over the recent published articles and documents. While the UHI is obviously envisaged as a future challenge in front of many Middle East mega cities, yet there can be identified a gap in development of holistic agendas and systematic action plans by governments and decision-making entities to facilities mitigatory policies against the UHI.
