Climate on a local scale: urban climates Temperatures: the urban heat island effect. Precipitation: frequency and intensity, fogs, thunderstorms, and their relationship to urban form and processes. Air quality: particulate pollution, photochemical smog and pollution reduction policies. Winds: the effects of urban structures and layout on variations in wind speed, direction and frequency. Global climate change Evidence for climatic change over the last 20 000 years. Global warming – possible causes. Possible effects: on a global scale, on the chosen tropical region (above) and on the British Isles. Responses to global warming: international, national and local.
