That way, I would have a much cooler house and I could have installed solar panels more easily and grown a roof garden. The study focused on the surface temperatures of Kuala Lumpur city centre, Bayan Lepas, George Town, Johor Baru and Ipoh. Ipoh recorded an increase of 6.75°C between 1998 and 2019 and JB an increase of 6.7°C between 2005 and 2018. Cities the world over, which keep growing, are certainly feeling the heat and many are looking for cooling solutions. For example, cities like Tokyo and Los Angeles are coating their pavements with a lighter coloured sealant that can reflect heat.
