" also are coming to include another increasingly dangerous element: overnight temperatures that don’t cool down enough to offer sufficient reprieve from stifling heat, particularly for people without access to .

“'Most people don’t realize that hot nighttime temperatures have been outpacing daytime temperature increases across most populated regions worldwide in recent decades,' Columbia University’s Data Science Institute postdoctoral research scientist Kelton Minor told CNN.

“'We think it’s because as the days grow warmer, there is more moisture in the air that traps the heat,' the Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health’s executive director, Lisa Patel, told CNN. 'During the day, that moisture reflects the heat, but at night, it traps the heat in.'

"Places with a lot of , , buildings and absorb more of the sun’s heat than areas with ample , and -lined streets. At night, when temperatures are supposed to cool down, the retained heat is released back into the air, said University of Washington climate and health expert Kristie Ebi.

"Areas with a lot of – with grass and trees that reflect sunlight and create shade – are cooler on summer’s hottest days, she said.

“'Many cities put together , but people have to know where they are, how to get to them and what hours they operate,' Ebi told CNN, noting city officials must rethink to consider ."
