Summary

Northern Virginia’s scorching heat is being mapped by over thirty citizen scientists turning their cars into mobile weather stations, collecting critical data for urban planning and public health equity. Led by the Faith Alliance for Climate Solutions and George Mason University, teams like Meredith and John Haines logged extreme temps—including a staggering 36°C—across neighborhoods, feeding real-time readings into an app for analysis. With a report due in October and plans for a third round, this grassroots effort aims to turn heat data into action for communities most at risk.
