1. Large cities affect local climate by tending increase the warmth. They clear forests and put in heat absorbing concrete and asphalt. They're the physical heat put out by air conditioners and other machinery. Concrete and asphalt in large masses create what is called a heat island effect. This can create a false drought condition because the rain and storm activity will go around the false high.
