Urban areas tend to remain warmer that rural areas because of an effect known as 'urban heat island'.

This effect of heating is due to the pavement and buildings that are found in urban areas. During the day, the heat radiation from the sun is captured by the pavement and buildings. During the course of the day, and especially in the evening, these 'heat batteries' begin to release that heat, and temperatures can be warmer that in rural areas. Rural areas have little pavement and few buildings, therefore, less substances to trap heat during the day.

Hence, rural areas can be cooler than urban areas.
