Why The Weather Is Worse At The Mall

The video explains how large shopping malls and their parking lots absorb and radiate heat, leading to increased temperatures and the formation of storms. This phenomenon is not limited to malls but also occurs in heat islands like mega cities, which experience more rain and extreme weather. The video suggests mitigation strategies such as planting trees and painting surfaces to reduce heat absorption and prevent destructive weather conditions.
