Rapid urbanization and climate impacts have raised concerns about the emergence aggravation of urban heat island effects. In Africa, studies focused more on big cities due to their growing populations high impact, while mid-sized remain under-studied, with limited comparative insights into distinct characteristics. This study therefore provided a spatiotemporal analysis land use cover change (LULCC) surface islands (SUHI) effects in Nigerian Akure Osogbo from 2014 2023. used Landsat 8 9 imagery (2014 2023) analyzed data via Google Earth Engine ArcGIS Pro 3.4. Results showed that Akure’s built areas increased significantly 164.026 km2 224.191 witnessed smaller expansion 41.808 58.315 areas. identified Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) emissivity patterns associated vegetation thermal emissions positive association between LST urbanization. The findings across established LULCC has different SUHI As result, evidence city might not be extended other similar size socioeconomic characteristics without caution.
