| Descripció: | This work analyzed the behavior shown by the heat island in Mexico City from 1950 to 2010. We worked with climatological data of average temperature per decade; the selection of the stations considered the period of operation and available data. The average temperature trend of three stations that met specific characteristics was studied. These characteristics were: being within the urban area from the start of the operation, having been absorbed by the urban area at some point in its period of operation, being in a rural area. The increase in temperature inside the urban area was verified over the period in contrast to the periurban area, which remained relatively stable; likewise, the isotherms showed a behavior of constant expansion as the urban area surface increased. |
