Preliminary results from the Urban Heat Island Mapping Project show Alexandria as one of Northern Virginia’s hottest areas after about 80 volunteers recorded temperatures on July 21 along 30 routes using rooftop sensors at 6 a.m. to 8 a.m., 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. (the hottest reading was 103 degrees in Franconia).
