Field measurement campaigns have grown exponentially in recent years, stemming from the need for reliable data to validate urban climate models and obtain a better understanding of urban climate features. Also contributing to this growth is the Local Climate Zone (LCZ) scheme, firstly developed to enhance the accuracy in the contextualisation of urban measurements, and lately used for characterising urban areas. Due to its relative novelty, researchers are still investigating the potential of LCZs and its indicators for urban temperature variability detection. In this respect, the present study introduces the results of an extensive monitoring campaign carried out in the city of Madrid over a two-year period (2016–2018). The aim of this work is to further examine the relationships between LCZs and air temperature differences, with emphasis on their hourly and seasonal evolution. A graphical and statistical analysis to identify temperature variability trends for each LCZ is performed. Results support the existing evidence suggesting a high level of effectiveness in capturing the heat island (UHI) profile of different urban areas, while underperforming when it comes to capturing diurnal temperature variability. The incorporation of indicators that explain the daytime temperature variation phenomenon into the LCZ scheme is therefore recommended, warranting further research.

由于需要可靠的数据来验证城市气候模型并更好地了解城市气候特征，现场测量活动近年来呈指数级增长。本地气候区 (LCZ) 计划也促进了这种增长，该计划最初是为了提高城市测量背景化的准确性，最近用于表征城市地区。由于其相对新颖，研究人员仍在研究 LCZ 的潜力及其在城市温度变化检测方面的指标。在这方面，本研究介绍了为期两年（2016-2018 年）在马德里市开展的广泛监测活动的结果。这项工作的目的是进一步研究 LCZ 与气温差异之间的关系，重点是它们每小时和季节性的演变。执行图形和统计分析以识别每个 LCZ 的温度变化趋势。结果支持现有证据，表明在捕获不同城市地区的热岛 (UHI) 剖面方面具有很高的有效性，但在捕获昼夜温度变化方面表现不佳。因此，建议将解释白天温度变化现象的指标纳入 LCZ 计划，值得进一步研究。而在捕捉昼夜温度变化方面表现不佳。因此，建议将解释白天温度变化现象的指标纳入 LCZ 计划，值得进一步研究。而在捕捉昼夜温度变化方面表现不佳。因此，建议将解释白天温度变化现象的指标纳入 LCZ 计划，值得进一步研究。
