Temperature is one of the most important meteorological variables that characterize the climate of an urban area. It is presented with a marked sensitivity to the growth and expansion of cities, giving rise to the so-called urban heat island. The urban climate perception is relevant because the inhabitants are inside an artificial environment that often differs from the natural conditions. "Urban climate has acquired a remarkable development as a response to the problems that accompany the growing process of urbanization" (Oke, 2014); and its elements serve as learning contents and initiatives for proposals of environmental order or climatic comfort.
