Pedestrian Wearing Hat Walking On Paved Surface During Heat

A pedestrian walks across a paved public area in Ochsenfurt, Bavaria, Germany, on April 18, 2026. Extensive paved and sealed surfaces absorb and store solar radiation, increasing heat build-up during summer heatwaves and keeping urban areas warmer after sunset. (Photo by Michael Nguyen/NurPhoto)
