Subway Heat Exploration
2024-PresentLast summer I made a TikTok video that went viral documenting the heat inside NYC subway stations. The flood of frustrated comments made me realize this issue is worth further exploring. To date, there’s been no sustained, long-term effort to collect microclimate data inside subway stations in New York, so I’m working to change that.

Since September, I’ve been developing a custom Arduino sensor that collects live temperature and humidity data. So far I’ve installed it at Union Square station and I’m currently refining the data collection process. My goal is to expand to 10-20 stations (or more) to create a clearer picture of the heat riders face in the summer months.
