Various methodologies to estimate the intensity of urban heat islands (UHI) have been proposed. However, there is no consensus on their combined or individual use. This study presents and analyzes the validation of the combined use of methodologies to capture data from UHI’a (mobile transects and fixed stations) and the location of the UHI phenomenon by considering the city of Temuco, Chile as a case study. The database used for the fixed station methodology consists of twenty-three stations belonging to the National Monitoring Network of Chile distributed throughout the city. For the mobile transect methodology the database was generated with three cars that crossed the city simultaneously taking one temperature record per minute. The results show that the two methodologies yield similar results, so it is possible to obtain the intensity of the IHU phenomenon using at least one of them. The results also showed that Temuco has a maximum intensity of the UHI phenomenon of 13°C, with this value being one of the highest recorded in UHI studies in the world.
