We explore how embedding climate data visualizations directly into urban space can support situated understanding of such phenomena. Focusing on hyperlocal temperature data, we developed a set of prototypical embedded visualization variants and evaluated them through a situated AR design probe conducted in a real urban setting. The study combined qualitative and quantitative feedback to explore how different encodings and anchoring strategies affect perception, interpretation, and preference. Our findings highlight tensions between spatial reference and environmental awareness, between perceptual clarity and obstruction, and between local precision and broader spatial comparison. Rather than validating specific design choices, this work surfaces design tensions that can inform future research and practice in embedded urban climate visualizations.}, doi = {10.2312/evs.20261013}, isbn = {978-3-03868-303-2}, }
