Hi, This paper could be useful as empirical evidence to show the urbanisation can be a major driver to climate variabilities in cities.

Article Urbanization and air quality as major drivers of altered spa...

Your question has multiple routes and I am choosing the 'extreme heat' in cities. In regional terms, the microclimate of cities is always altered with local effects such as 'Urban Heat Island effect' etc.

I am currently working on how different urban surfaces induce urban heat. To assess how strategic planning of urban surfaces can be effective for heat reduction. The first paper of that continuous project is Article Effectiveness of urban surface characteristics as mitigation...

Hope this may help.
