Oh tsk, you know quite well that only half of them live in cities....

Ah, but urban areas are drier, the surfaces are impermeable, water is carried away in sewers and therefore evaporation is far less than the organic, rural hinterland whether or not heat is reflected or absorbed.

I think the effects of UHI are relevant but not significant. There is a recordable air temperature difference within and over cities and the magnitude of this varies with latitude, greater where ambient temperatures are lower. The average appears to be 4 to 5 degrees C for large cities, although London has been recorded at 10 degrees C above the surrounding countryside. Again, in the instance of large cities, cloud formation, rainfall patterns and even wind direction and velocity can all be modified by the UHI influence. However, in terms of the planet’s surface area the zone of influence covered by the sum of all UHI’s is tiny and therefore so is the effect on global weather.
