The millions of people live in the 'heat islands' but they are not so much talked about.

I knew it from an early age, (living on the countryside) drilled on me walking or pedaling a bike to school in winter.

In a city the temperature climbs faster and keeps warmer later in the day.
In the outskirts of the city, it takes longer to get warm and cools faster

My mother, in the 60s, used to mention Sao Paulo, the drizzle city after the WWII when they moved there.

20 to 25 years later -by the time I started working in Sao Paulo- the drizzle had, by all practical purposes, gone.

A few years later I started working 400km south and at a slight higher altitude, and there was (in Curitiba) the drizzle my mother used to say Sao Paulo had late 40s early 50s.

Sao Paulo lost the drizzle due to getting warmer as it became a carpet of concrete.
This blob (over 800Km2) had to have a micro climate effect


Look the scattered blobs of small cities in Sao Paulo state countryside.
These are way to small to make any localized impact on the temperature
