The aim of the current project was to document summr temperatures axross the Local Government Area (LGA) of Penrith City where record-breaking heat has been measured frequently during the past years. These measurements come from a single weather stationthat is located outside the urban centres and neighbourhoods of Penrith City. It therefore remains unknown what air temperatures the local communities experience.
