Caused by the uneven heating of the atmosphere?
Wind is caused by the uneven heating of the atmosphere. When an area has warmer air than surrounding areas, the air rises which creates a region of low pressure. The areas around it have higher pressure, and therefore air moves from there to the low pressure area. The movement of this air is called wind.

How does the temperature differ in the rural area and the urban area?
There is hardly any climatic changes between rural and urban regions as climatic changes take place over a long period of time except for the weather conditions like temperature that may vary in localized regions.

A blanket of pollutants and moisture hangs over large cities which contributes to the increased temperature. Tall buildings also alter wind speeds and direction, along with amount of precipitation.

What conclusion might you make about summer temperatures in a large city compared with those in a surrounding countryside?
Large cities are often called "heat islands" The large amount of activities and energy expenditure, such as from cars, factories, lighting etc, can cause the temperatures in large cities to be slightly higher than the surrounding countryside. Localised air pollution also has a insulating effect, which also causes the temperature in the city to be slightly higher. See below. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_heat_island (If this was helpful, please recommend me.)
