Abstract

Most Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) contain a chapter on the climate of the area, or at least on air pollution. Included are graphs or tables giving monthly mean, maximum and minimum temperatures, and precipitation, as well as a wind rose from the nearest weather observing station. It is customary, also, to present a description of the large-scale climatological features of the region. This information is usually given with only a cursory attempt to show its relevance to the development under consideration.
