These areas are colored in variations of yellow, orange, and red to indicate higher land surface temperatures. The surrounding area is largely colored in shades of green to show lower temperatures. A temperature scale in Celsius is also included showing the range of temperatures from green to red to be from 28.7 to 47.6 deg.
