Overview

Analysis reveals urban heat island intensity grew in 80.6% of cities, suggesting urban morphology significantly affects climate dynamics.

Key Points

  • UHI intensity increased during the day in 80.6% of cities, highlighting an urgent need for urban design reform.
  • Southern cities experienced stronger daytime UHI with a mean temperature increase of 3.12 °C, underscoring geographical disparities.
  • Using the local climate zone framework and machine learning, this research delves into varied urbanization impacts across regions.
  • Findings indicate urban expansion and vegetation reduction as major contributors to UHI intensification, emphasizing the necessity for greener urban development.
