Tottenham Green to Tottenham Hale:
exploring the Urban Heat Island Wednesday 10 June 2026 Tottenham Clouds is developing a Tottenham Local Climate walk exploring the Urban Heat Island effect, a phenomenon first identified by Tottenham resident Luke Howard in over 200 years ago. The first walk will be on Wednesday 10 June celebrating Luke Howard during The Great Big Green Week 2026.
Luke Howard, most famous for his classification of clouds, was also the first to describe the development of the urban heat island (UHI) effect and suggest its causes. His daily meteorological observations taken from his home on Tottenham Green and elsewhere, were first published in 1818. The records which allowed him to detect, describe and analyse the UHI effect provide data which remains of importance to climate science today. During the walk from Tottenham Green to Tottenham Hale, we will consider Luke Howard’s analysis of the major features of climate: temperature, pressure, wind, precipitation etc and the urban and natural features we encounter on the way. Date: Wednesday 10 June Time: 6.30pm Starting point: Tottenham Green

Tottenham, an area of Haringey in North East London, is an area of high density housing which is recognised as deficient in the quantity of parks and green spaces. Those that exist, such as Bruce Castle Park (the first public park in Tottenham), Downhills Park, Lordship Rec and the wild beauty of Tottenham Marshes to the East of the borough are delightful places to visit. |
