| description | Urban climatologist particularly those interested in Urban Heat Island (UHI), require some form of explanations to UHI variations at both spatial and temporal scales in cities. Temperature cooling and warming rate can be use as a form of explanations for spatial and temporal variations for UHI intensity characteristics of an area. This study therefore, assessed variations in temperature warming and cooling rates in Jalingo. The study used temperature data collected at six locations representing six different thermal climate zones in the study area. Temperature data were collected for the period of 90 days thirty days in each of rainy season, dry season, and hamattan period. Simple statistical analysis was performed to determine the warming and cooling rates. The results indicate that temperature warm and cool differently in the study area. The results also revealed that general warming in the area within the study period begins at 8:00 h local time (GMT +1) with warming rate ranging from 0.94°C to 1.75°C across locations with a mean of 1.30°C. Cooling starts at 15:00 h ranging from -0.88°C to -1.84°C with an average of -1.48°C. It is recommended that environmental planners particularly the urban planners and Architectures should take into considerations the warming and cooling rates in their building design and also embrace appropriate landscaping to improve thermal comfort. |
