Hey Priya! Thank you so much for this paper!!! It’s perfect!
I think the correlation in urban areas might have to do with material composition, density of people and buildings, and vegetation. In urban areas, artificial surfaces and high density areas continue to release heat at night, which raises ambient temperatures and reduces evaporative cooling. Kind of like covering yourself with a blanket when you’re cold. The blanket helps prevent more of your body heat from escaping into the air.
