Cover Story: Anthropic changes influence the local energy balance and contribute to the formation of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. In this work, the behavior of UHI in different Local Climate Zones in the city of Bragança (Portugal) using air temperature (Ta), satellite data (Landsat 8), and on-site data was analyzed. The integration of data with different scales corroborated the complementation of information/analysis and detected the correlation between the Ta and land surface temperature (LST). The identification of the UHI was affected due to the Landsat 8 time of passage, and it was identified as the Urban Cool Island, a complementary effect of UHI, supporting the results of previous studies.
