Cover Story: Wildfires in the wildland–urban interface (WUI) represent an important environmental and social issue, threatening vegetated areas and periurban inhabitants, as is the case in many Latin American cities. This study analyzes whether wildfires contribute to the increase in land surface temperature (LST) in the WUI of the metropolitan area of the city of Guanajuato (MACG), a semi-arid Mexican city. Our results show that periurban wildfires increase the local LST. Most wildfires occurred near isolated and dispersed built-up areas, which commonly correspond to informal settlements in the Latin American context. This may dramatically affect people living in such areas, which lack the adequate infrastructure and adaptive capacity to cope with the cumulative effect of local, regional and global climate change.
