FORMATION OF LOCAL HIGH TEMPERATURE IN SUBURB OF FUKUOKA METROPOLITAN AREA

Abstract

The region of local high temperature is formed in the suburb of the south part of Fukuoka metropolitan area. The data were obtained in the summer seasons of 2003 and 2004. They were analyzed to reveal the weather conditions in the case where the local high temperature appeared. It is seen when the flux of solar radiation was large and the wind speed was not so large. The difference between the averaged temperature over the whole observation region and that over the local high temperature region increases with the increase of the flux of solar radiation. The local high temperature seems to be strongly dependent on the local geophysical features.
