    Urban areas tend to be warmer than surrounding rural regions due to concentrated infrastructure absorbing and re-emitting more solar radiation than natural landscapes. This phenomenon is known as the urban heat island effect. The document provides a link to NOAA data on temperature differences between urban and rural areas that could be mapped and analyzed.
