Why are temperatures near the Great Lakes cooler in the summer than temperatures a few miles away
The lakes have a high specific heat capacity.
Answer:
Air passing over the lakes becomes moister from evaporation. This evaporation of water requires heat which is absorbed from the air. As a consequence the air becomes cooler.
Is the saying the higher the clouds the better the weather true
High clouds indicate the dry air and high pressure of fair
weather.
