<![CDATA[Urban heat island and urban dry island]]>I have one question about UHI. People often talk, that temperature in town is much higher then surroundings. But what about humidity. Urban dry island tell us that towns are also drier then surroundings. So if humidity there is lower, then you can more easy tolerate high temperature. Does someone has some kind of literature about this?

It looks like that some towns become more dry, another not.

So this mean that dry towns can put more plants in general, humid towns only high trees. So for every town has different micro climate, what means, that planting needs to be different.

I live in small urban area. When I go in more bigger urban areas, I feel that air there is more dry. I need to find out if reason is wind or really lower humidity.

Because if humidity is really lower, then wrong planting will make things worse. Trees need to be high to make shade, not low, because this will only increase humidity. It's very good to work on it.

i am not an expert on the issue, but i guess chinese and japanese weather research, along with american science may answer your requests, look there...
