Description of weather:
It was scorching hot and humid with sunny and scattered clouds despite how the sun is not visible from our site. Due to the light drizzling during the investigation, there is the presence of little puddles of water on the ground. Hence, the atmosphere was drizzly. However, the wind is calm.

b) WIND SPEED in m/s (3-min interval)
-All three readings are 0m/s
-Average readings are 0m/s.
- Hence, there is no wind.

-AVERAGE DIFFERENCE IN BOTH BULBS' TEMPERATURE: 3.67
-AVERAGE RELATIVE HUMIDITY: 74.8%

6. Other factors/features that may affect the temperature of the site and/or the readings of the weather instruments on Day 1:
The presence plants and trees nearby may affect the accuracy of the readings on the weather instruments. The temperature will be affected by the presence of a huge pond beside us while taking the readings, as air surrounding us contains more moisture than areas that are further away. Therefore, temperature could be coller in this site when there is the presence of pond.

ACTIVITY 1
3a) Type of ground cover:
Wooden ground and grass
3b) Presence of man-made features/objects:
School pond, man-made shelter, light colored building on both northern and southern side, presence of vehicles kilo-meters away,
3c) Other factors that may affect the temperature:
Presence of trees as well as plants from all sides, north south east and west part of the school pond.

Brick paving slabs with gaps in between

Presence of man-made features:
Buildings on the eastern side of our site
and man-made school field with artificial grass

Other factors that affect the temperature:
The amount of sunlight and the presence
of shelters

4. The weather was:
Cooling and there were more clouds than
 the amount of sunlight. The atmosphere was
dry and the wind is calm.

This also links back to our hypothesis that the pond is a water body, therefore the relative humidity is higher, making area near it cooler and more enjoyable for customers to relax and eat.]]> 2017-04-27 08:22:47 UTC https://padlet.com/chantelchan15/rqbje912vyot/wish/168568252 leehuiping15 https://padlet.com/chantelchan15/rqbje912vyot/wish/168568311 PICTURE FROM PARADE SQUARE
