Guang Chen et al.

Summary: This study assesses the UHI behavior in Guangzhou based on LCZ schemes and finds that precipitation has a negative impact on UHI development, while DTR is significantly correlated with UHI intensity. A DTR threshold of 10 degrees Celsius is identified for identifying meteorological conditions conducive to UHI development.

Improving the accuracy of simplified urban canopy models for arid regions using site-specific prior information

Afshin Afshari et al.

Summary: Standalone Urban Canopy Models (UCMs) are developed to address the impracticality of overly complex urban climate/energy models, aiming to replace them with computationally light equivalents. This study investigates the impact of modifications to a Single-Layer Urban Canopy Model (SLUCM) based on prior site-specific information and evaluates their ability to predict urban heat island intensity and air-conditioning energy demand. Three improvements are discussed, including the use of actual radiation parameters, replacement of default morphological parameters with values from prior simulations, and estimation of urban canyon wind speed using a regression model.

Comparing temperature-related mortality impacts of cool roofs in winter and summer in a highly urbanized European region for present and future climate

Helen L. Macintyre et al.

Summary: The study found that cool roofs are effective in reducing maximum temperatures in summer but have minimal impact on ambient air temperatures in winter. The wintertime Urban Heat Island effect may actually benefit health by avoiding cold-related mortality. The implementation of reflective 'cool' roofs is suggested as an effective intervention to protect health, both now and in the future.

Helen L. Macintyre et al.

Summary: This study found that the wintertime Urban Heat Island in the West Midlands region of the UK may have a protective effect, potentially avoiding around 266 cold-related deaths. With climate change, the number of heat-related deaths associated with the summer UHI is projected to increase, while the protective effect of the wintertime UHI is expected to slightly increase.
