Sacramento’s Hottest August (Next To Highway!)
Put a thermometer close to your hot frying pan. And the other one close tot he open fridge door. Do you think there is going to be a temperature difference? Or simply put one high on the window and the other one at the back of the room close to the floor. Different temperatures? Surprise. Everyone who crosses from the countryside into a city in winter often knows that cities are warmer than the surrounding country. Thats the urban heat island. Dark surfaces catch heat. Try walking on the asphalt when the sun is high in the sky on a cloudless day in summer. Searing hot, ain’t it? Then go to the adjacent grass patch. Much cooler – ain’t it. Taing temperatures has become a travesty as everyone does what he/she wants.
