Cities influence their own weather. A new survey of 1000+ cities finds this most often boosts urban rainfall relative to surrounding areas. 🌧️ “Just like the way you have an urban heat island, you have an urban rainfall effect,” says Dev Niyogi UT Austin. newscientist.com/article/244706…

Led by Jackson School & Texas Engineering scientists, the study is the first to examine urban rainfall variations on the global level, with 60% of the 1,056 cities examined getting more rain than surrounding rural areas. 🌎 jsg.utexas.edu/news/2024/09/m…
