Abstract Satellite‐based thermal infrared (TIR) land surface temperature (LST) is hindered by cloud cover and applicable solely under clear‐sky conditions for estimating urban heat island intensity (SUHII). Clear‐sky SUHII may not accurately represent all‐sky conditions, potentially introducing quantitative biases in assessing islands. However, the differences between SUHIIs their spatiotemporal variations are still poorly understood. Our analysis of over 600 global cities demonstrates that mostly higher than SUHII, particularly summer, daytime, precipitation‐rich regions. Besides, typically exhibits stronger seasonal diurnal contrasts especially located humid These discrepancies can be attributed mainly to increased missing LST data caused enhancement areas. findings highlight tendency observations overestimate providing valuable insights standardizing quantification

Increasing urbanization exacerbates surface energy balance perturbations and the health risks of climate warming; however, it has not been determined whether urban-induced warming attributions vary from local, regional, to global scale. Here, local urban heat island (SUHI) is evidenced manifest with an annual daily mean intensity 0.99°C–1.10°C during 2003–2018 using satellite observations over 536 cities worldwide. Spatiotemporal patterns mechanisms SUHI tightly link climate-vegetation conditions, regional effect reaching up 0.015°C–0.138°C (annual average) due alterations. Globally, footprint 1,860 approximates 1% terrestrial lands, about 1.8–2.9 times far beyond impervious areas, suggesting enlargements imprint scales. With continuous development urbanization, implications for SUHI-added scaling effects are considerably important on accelerating warming.

Abstract Increasing urbanization causes urban heat island effects that might introduce significant biases into global warming estimates. Previous studies of signals and asymmetries remain a subject debate. Here we comprehensively assess urban‐induced warmings by investigating meteorological temperatures on 2,370 stations in China during 1980–2022. There are noticeable annual contributions ranging from 0.016 to 0.251°C decade −1 0.3%–72.4%, primarily due spatiotemporal heterogeneities the criteria defining sites. Rapid tends exacerbate diurnal seasonal asymmetries, resulting shrinking temperature differentials associated with urbanized areas chronosequences. This study underscores specific definition matters for magnitude complex nonlinear imprint asymmetries.
