    The document discusses how the microclimate has changed in an area before and after a lake was filled in. Originally, dense vegetation near the lake cooled surrounding areas, while residential and traffic zones created urban heat islands. With the lake now filled and more buildings and traffic, temperatures have likely increased significantly in those zones. Wind and sun patterns are also shown to come primarily from the south and southwest.

    Difference in the micro climate

    before the lake was filled up

    Variation in temperature due to


    topography and vegetation
    Assumed

    The areas with dense vegetation influence


    the micro climate, cooling the surroundings
    whereas two of the major zones , the dense
    residential area and the traffic zone on the
    Cunningham road create urban heat islands

    Inference

    With the filling up of the lake and the


    increase in the density of buildings and
    traffic zones in the area, the temperature
    might have significantly increased in these
    areas.

    Both the wind rose and the sun path show


    that the high speed winds and the maximum
    radiation is from S and SW
