Building heat loads are found to correlate strongly with wind energy supply aggregated over large, cold regions. Moderate correlations are found elsewhere, except no correlation is found in some tropical islands and some small countries. Thus, wind energy in most climates can help to meet seasonal...

The heat island is highly changeable, most pronounced at night and weakening with increasing wind speed and distance from the city centre; the location of the thermal maximum of the heat island shifts with slight changes in wind direction. The number of nights with intense heat islands (greater...
The sea breeze drives temperature increases farther from the ocean, but localized heat and cool islands occur due to differences in land cover. Los Angeles and neighboring cities Santa Monica 67 ° 95 ° Downtown Malibu Beverly Hills 73 ° 88 ° Glendale 85 ° Griffith Park 87 ° Montebello ...
