CORRELATION SUMMARY

This analysis examines the statistical correlation between Air Temperature and Land Surface Temperature (LST Day) in the Ubungo district over 298 months.

Correlation (r): +0.6579 (Strong Positive)
P-Value: 2.49e-38 (Extremely Significant)
Trend: As Air Temp ↑, LST ↑

Scientific Interpretation

A Pearson Correlation Coefficient (r) of +0.6579 indicates a strong positive relationship. This means that fluctuations in air temperature are closely mirrored by changes in the surface temperature of the urban environment.

Environmental Impact

With an extremely low p-value (2.49e-38), these results confirm that air temperature is a primary driver of land surface heat in Ubungo. This data is critical for understanding the "Urban Heat Island" effect, where built-up areas retain significantly more heat than surrounding natural landscapes.
