Abstract Despite mounting evidence that heatwaves aggravate urban air pollution, with substantial impacts on public health, comparatively little research has addressed Sub-Saharan African contexts. In this study, we focused Kigali, Rwanda, to assess the relationship between extreme heat events and concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM₂.₅), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃) from 2021 2024. Using low-cost sensors for dense spatiotemporal coverage, our analysis found O₃ increased significantly during 6 heatwave peak values up 40% higher than non-heatwave in afternoon. Heatwaves also resulted spikes PM2.5 NO2, however diurnal seasonal analyses showed NO2 dynamics were shaped more by local emissions sources temperature alone. These results highlight compound risks pollution sub-Saharan cities, underscoring importance early-warning systems robust policies account both pollution. addition, atmospheric identified differ those observed high-income countries, highlighting a critical need exploring intersection Africa.
