The continuous monitoring of the relationship between land surface temperature LST and land cover change is imperative for an inquiry into the potential impact of LST on human well-being, including urban outdoor thermal comfort in Lagos State, Nigeria. Using Landsat imagery, this study assessed land cover and LST changes from to Afterwards, the universal thermal climate index UTCI was calculated to determine the heat stress levels.
Also, a very strong link between high LST intensities and increasing concentration of urban areas in rapidly growing LGAs has been observed. This link further confirms the increased warming of the state, with an increase in mean LST of 2. The assistance of Mr. Ahmed Ishola Moshood and Mr.
