Isotherms are spaced closely together on a map to show a drastic temperature change over a distance. Isotherms connect points of equal temperature, and when they are closely spaced, it indicates a rapid change in temperature over a short distance. This helps to visualize temperature gradients and variations across a geographical area.
If two points are spaced closely together on a map but experience a drastic temperature change, it suggests a microclimate effect. Microclimates are small-scale areas with distinct climatic conditions influenced by factors such as topography, land use, and vegetation cover. These localized variations can result in significant temperature differences over short distances.
If two locations are close together on a map and there is a drastic temperature change between them, it could be due to differences in altitude, proximity to water bodies, or urban heat island effects. Wind patterns and local geography can also play a role in creating microclimates with significant temperature variations over short distances.

Global warming is the main cause for our drastic changes in temperature.
The most drastic temperature changes during the start of spring in the US typically occur in the Midwest region, particularly in states like Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. These areas can experience wide temperature fluctuations as winter transitions to spring.
Drastic times call for drastic measures. That was a rather drastic action, don't you think?
Move the hamster to a cooler area immediately. Offer fresh water, but avoid giving a cold bath, as it can be too drastic of a temperature change. Place a cool, damp towel near the hamster for it to lay on if needed, and monitor closely for any signs of distress.
