THE EFFECT OF URBANISATION ON LOWER ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE

This article looks at the effect of roads, buildings etc on the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere.  It is something that has been known to push up temperatures for some time and yet it is largely ignored by those compiling the temperature data bases providing the evidence for global warming. They found that the daily minimum temperature was estimated to increase by 1.90 ± 0.88 K while the daily maximum temperature was not significantly affected by urbanisation.
