With the urban heat effect — in which dense cities and paved surfaces produce more
heat than in rural areas — people in cities may feel greater impacts.

Human induced trend has two components, namely (a) greenhouse effect [this includes global and local / regional component] and (b) non-greenhouse effect [local / regional component]-- according to IPCC (a) is more
than half of global average temperature anomaly wherein it also includes component of volcanic activities, etc that comes under greenhouse effect; and (b) contribution is less
than half — ecological changes component but this is biased positive side by urban -
heat - island effect component as the met network are concentrated
in urban
areas and
rural - cold - island effect is biased negative side as the met stations are sparsely distributed though
rural area is more
than double to urban
area.
This means that less energy is used up evaporating water, that less of the Sun's energy is reflected and that more
heat is stored by buildings and the ground
in urban
than in rural areas.
It reflects 97 % of radiant
heat and
in an urban environment it gets hotter
than rural areas.
In built - up urban areas the concentration of heat storing materials in buildings, roads, etc. such as concrete, bitumen, bricks and so on, and heat sources such as heaters, air - conditioners, lighting, cars, etc. all combine to produce a local «heat island»: a region where temperatures tend to be warmer than the surrounding rural lan

This is due to a phenomenon called the urban
heat island effect that causes air temperatures
in New York City and other major cities to be warmer
than in neighboring suburbs and
rural areas.
Never got a response about this study, which clearly shows a greater
heating trend
in Central Park
than in surrounding
rural areas (see the first figure).

heat island effect, the phenomenon
in which cities tend to be warmer
than nonurban
areas due to their plethora of built surfaces — made of concrete, asphalt and more — and scarcity of vegetation.
That, coupled with concentrated energy use and less ventilation
than in rural areas, creates a
heating effect.»
