JDB: Cities have dense concentrations of asphalt, cement and other surfaces that absorb solar heat during the day and radiate it back into the environment. For example, Phoenix is taking heat mitigation seriously by establishing one of the first heat mitigation and response offices at the municipal level. degrees F to as much as 12.6
