The effect on Long Island whereby the western regions of the island are generally warmer due to the closer proximity of the mainland (where there is more land mass heat being generated) and the population gets denser (which creates more radial heat from electricity, heaters, cars, etc...).
As you move from Montauk to Brentwood you can really notice a difference in the air temperature due to the urban heat island effect.

An effect that happens to men in regards to only seeing ugly women for an extended period of time, in which they begin to see ugly women as attractive.
This consistently happens to men who work too much, and dont go out often. Especially in low paying, night shift jobs.
Its called the island effect because one is isolated from the attractive, outside world.
