Abstract: Background: Studies on the extremely high temperatures in towns and cities have become relevant because of the attention researchers have been paying to rural-urban temperature differences resulting from land-use/land-cover changes in the latter. Over the years, Ghana has experienced rapid urbanization primarily due to industrialization, migration and the extension of villages into towns, and towns into cities. The end result has been the creation of very temperatures in the built-up areas and their attendance health implications. Examined in this paper are the dynamics of land-us/land-cover and land surface temperature changes in the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area in Ghana during the period 1986-2020......
