WRF model version 3.6.1 deployed on the ARCHER UK National Supercomputing Service.

Meteorology data from the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) ERA-interim reanalysis data for initial and lateral boundary conditions.

The WRF v3.6.1 model set up implemented in this study included four nested domains. The domains had grid resolutions of 36 km × 36 km, 12 km × 12 km, 3 km × 3 km and 1 km × 1 km. The finest domain covered the West Midlands, centering over Birmingham. The multi-layer building energy parametrization (BEP) scheme with three land-use types (low-intensity residential, high-intensity residential and industrial/commercial) was also used.
