Question

In what way are cities microclimates?

Answer 1

Answer: Micro-climate refers to the small scale climatic condition prevailing in a small area.

Micro-climate in cities differs from place to place depending upon the amount of solar radiations absorbed in that area, amount of precipitation, moisture content, overall surrounding temperature and air pressure.

Most of the cities micro-climates are generally warmer because of its high absorption of solar radiation, lack of spaces between the houses and building and high emission of gases, creating pollution.

Answer 2

Hello There!

An "Urban Microclimate" is the climate of a smaller area in an urban envioment, which may be different to that of another section of the same urban environment.

Cities are microclimates because cities are warmer than the areas around them.
