The relationship between built-up areas and the spatial development of the mean maximum urban heat island in Debrecen, Hungary [PDF]
, 2005 The climate of built-up regions differs significantly from rural regions and the most important modifying effect of urbanization on local climate is the urban temperature excess, otherwise called the urban heat island (UHI).
