You could also extract wind data from the weather maps at the time on a large scale.So now you could test a site that is to the east of an urban area. You also need a site to the west of an urban area. Depending on the wind direction you either get no difference, or a bias one way or the other.”################## the wind data would be more interesting to explain why there is no UHI in the city. A 7m/sec wind will eliminate most UHI. The more interesting effect would be changes to precipitation downwind.
