Temperature and humidity observations in Kampala, Uganda, during the boreal summer 2018-2019

Both climate change and rapid urbanization accelerate exposure to heat in the city of Kampala, Uganda. To investigate the heterogeneous distribution of temperature and humidity throughout the city, we set up a network of low-cost iButton sensors, operational in the boreal summer months of 2018-2019. This dataset provides the observational data of 45 sensors installed at 15 different locations in the city of Kampala.
