What are micro-climates?

Page 3: Today’s lesson: Define urban micro-climate and urban heat island.

Predict the differences between urban micro-climates and rural environments:

• Insolation (incoming solar radiation) / light• Temperature • Wind• Humidity• Precipitation• Cloudiness / Fog

NOW USE THE GEO-FACTSHEET TO DESCRIBE THE DIFFERENCES
