As I said on my own Substack, they record temperatures in cities, and these cities are covered in heat sink blacktop paving. I don't believe there is a temperature increase except where they pave.

In the 70s I saw temperatures in summer here in Colorado at 107 degrees out on a ranch where I was shoeing horses. I haven't passed 103 at my home in over 10 years. No paving here!

The Atlanta Metro has been called a "heat island" by on-air weathermen for at least two decades. Temps there are typically two to four degrees higher than in the remote, same-elevation suburbs.

Great point. I forget about the concrete/paving which raises temps like nobody's business. It's obvious.
