Warm nights in the city
Posted: 14 Oct 2010 03:07 AM
The featured chart displays the hourly average temperature difference
by year between Des Moines and Waterloo. The chart nicely shows the
effect of having a weather sensor in an urban area (Des Moines) versus
a more rural one (waterloo). Notice how Des Moines is much warmer
during the night time than during the daytime. This is probably a
result of the Urban Heat Island Effect. If you are into warm nights,
living in Des Moines is your best bet in Iowa.
