Abstract

Microclimate refers to a climate of a small region . As the name suggests , Micro means small and the term signifies the effect of climate on a smaller regions due to surroundings of that area . Microclimate effects the enviornment . For example, Concrete and masonry absorbs heat from sun and slowly radiate which increases the temperature. This is called urban heat island effect. Now having Non radiating shading devices like trees and plants nearby can help in regulating the temperature.
