Factor

Explanation

Low cloud cover

Fewer clouds allows for more solar input (Q*), increasing the heat balance of a city.

Greater solar input

Cities at lower latitudes have greater solar input (Q*), increasing the heat balance.

Sky factor

Sites within a city that have a higher fraction of their view of the sky unimpeded by buildings have greater solar input (Q*), increasing the heat balance.

City size (population or area)

Bigger cities have more impervious surface, and hence greater potential to store energy (ΔQs) that is later released into the atmosphere.
