This paper deals with the empirical analysis of the effect of the green vegetation to the hydrometeorological parameters of the urban environment (especially temperature) and its subsequent analysis for comparison with UHI (Urban heat island). UHI is the issue of large cities with excessive temperature during the summer months. For the comparison were chosen two places in Dejvice Campus in Prague, where measurements take placed. One place represents the artificial surface and the second one represents the natural surface. Basic statistical analysis and biological description of both localities were done.
