The results of application of a Weather Research and Forecasting model (version 4.2) to study the heat island phenomenon in the city of Tomsk are considered. The results of numerical calculations were compared with measurements obtained using the instruments of Joint Use Center (JUC) Atmosphere and Tomsk Bogashevo Airport. On some days, the temperature difference between the city and the suburbs was shown to reach 1-3 °C.
