micro climate

Back in Santa Barbara, I used to ride my bike everywhere. (Still do… I just have to supplement with the car more frequently in the winter!) When I lived on the mountain side of the 101, I used to bike past a couple of wetland areas. At night, these spots really cooled down. You’d notice a dramatic change in temperature every time you rode through one. This one was right next to the airport. That’s a UCSB physical plant building in the background.
