Higher temperatures in cities

ClimateResearch
Built-up areas create higher temperatures than their surroundings, and this has a number of different causes As a general rule, the hard surfaces in cities absorb more sunlight and store more heat than green spaces. This heat is given off at night, raising the air temperature. During the day, the Last updated:
