The first study was led by David Changnon, a climatologist(氣候學家 ) at Northern Illinois University in and his team studied temperature records from the sites in the Midwest. They found that since 1970, the average temperature in the region during July and August has gone down— by up to one degree Fahrenheit(華氏度 )— from what it was during the years between 1930 and 1969. Their investigation also showed that the average rainfall in those states during those two months has increased. Between 1970 and 2020, about inch more rain fell than between 1930 and may be connected by humidity(濕度 ), Changnon says. Humidity is the measure of how much moisture is in the air.
