You can really run down some rabbit holes when looking at weather data. For grins after a customer conversation we compared forest fire data from the dust bowl 30's to contemporary data. Is it an accurate comparison with the technology we have at hand today? Maybe.
Does or will development current or planned affect a micro climate of properties adjacent to that development?

If humans weren't so adaptable they might make better or maybe more thoughtful long range decisions.
Our inability to change everything should not stop us from changing what we can.
