Advanced Weather Forecasting Models Confirm Urban Heat Island Effect…It’s Very Real

By P Gosselin on 24. October 2017

Yesterday at Weatherbell Analytics at his Daily Update, meteorologist Joe Bastardi pointed out a topic that particularly fascinated me, and which I think is very important: the urban heat island effect (UHI).

Many have been claiming for years that the urban heating has been in part responsible for the higher recorded global surface temperatures over the past couple of decades. All that concrete, asphalt and steel covering the surface of urban sprawl absorbs enormous amounts of heat, and thus drives up the local temperature – especially at night.

Not only that, but energy density and efficiencies provide heating in the urban areas.
