AnalysisThe air temperature is generally lower at a height of 1.5m as compared to 15cm.
![Page 24: Description of Surrounding Day 1Low Proximity to Vegetation (Trees), No wind, No cloud cover Day 2Light cloud cover, Low proximity to Vegetation](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e715503460f94b6f292/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Counter HypothesisBased on the overall readings, our hypothesis has been rejected.
The temperature of a certain site mattered less about whether it was made of concrete or not. Rather, the amount of exposure it had to sunlight decided the temperature.
Other factors are as follows.
