Summary/Abstract: The study presents the results of the assessment of the surface urban heat island in Łódź based on satellite detectionusing the Sentinel 3 satellite. To achieve the objectives of the work, 30 selected satellite images of surface temperature from2021–2022 were used. The study of the average urban heat island, its maximum value and spatial distribution was carried outseparately for the summer (April–September) and winter (January–March) periods. The results showed that the median SUHIvalue was 2.6°C in the summer and 1.9°C in the winter months.
