The lowest temperatures of the day are recorded just before sunrise. This is because the earth continues to cool once the sun has set until the sun rises again

How does temperature affect precipitation?

Precipitation does not directly affect the temperature. However, because there are often clouds that come with precipitation, this indirectly causes a drop in temperature.


What causes the drop of a wall cloud?

A wall cloud marks an area of low pressure within a mesocyclone. The pressure drop causes a temperature drop, which in turn causes water vapr to condense.

The minimum temperature usually occurs near sunrise because?

http://www.islandnet.com/~see/weather/elements/dawncold.htmmost places are at the minimum temperature shortly after sunrise but within an hour after of sunrise. The reason for this is that when the sun angle is low, the energy still being lost to space (long wave or IR radiation) exceeds the amount that is being received during that first half hour or so after sunrise. The low sun angle means that the energy per unit area is low (the sunlight is spread over a larger area.) and the amount that is lost to the atmosphere due to the much larger distance the energy is traveling through the atmosphere at the low angle. Thus, the temperature continues to cool until the energy received from the sun, exceeds the amount being lost. which is not until the period of 1/2 to one hour after sunrise. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081224103509AAB3YA9


How is low pressure area developed?

Is the lowest temperature usually recored at midnight sunrise or sunset?

The lowest temperature is typically recorded during the early morning hours, closer to sunrise, when temperatures have had the chance to drop overnight. Sunset marks the end of the day and temperatures tend to be warmer at that time.


What is the usual cause of the drop in temperature that occurs between sunset and sunrise at the most New York state locations?

The drop in temperature between sunset and sunrise in New York state locations is primarily due to radiational cooling. At night, the Earth's surface loses heat by radiating it back into space, causing temperatures to decrease. Absence of sunlight during this period leads to cooling of the air near the surface.

When is the coldest time of the day?

The coldest time of day is typically right before sunrise, known as the "minimum temperature." This occurs because the Earth's surface cools overnight as it radiates heat back into space without the sun's warmth.
