heat zone
Climate latitude region
Heat zone refers to a geographic region classified by its temperature characteristics, typically one of three major bands—tropical, temperate, and polar—determined by latitude and solar exposure.
The term also applies to areas of intense temperature in cooking or industrial processes: Position the steak over the heat zone of the grill.
In urban planning, heat zones identify neighborhoods that experience dangerously elevated temperatures due to concrete density and lack of vegetation.
