Cover Story: This study shows how extreme summer heat reshaped the Surface Urban Heat Island Intensity (SUHII) in Lecce (southern Italy) between 2018 and 2025. The analysis is based on ECOSTRESS land surface temperature data. During extremely hot days, the thermal contrast between city and countryside changes markedly. In daytime, dry soils and sparse vegetation in rural areas often cause higher temperatures than in the city, leading to a stronger “cool island” effect over urban surfaces. At night, the situation reverses: urban areas, especially dense neighborhoods, remain warmer than their surroundings because buildings store and slowly release heat. As heat waves become more frequent and persistent, nighttime warming intensifies, increasing thermal stress for urban populations and highlighting a growing thermal vulnerability of Mediterranean cities.
