COLLINS: The thermal mass of the concrete, yes, it keeps it a little warmer during the night time, however it keeps it a little cooler during the day because it reflects more solar radiation into the air and not holding it during the day.
PLASKON: He says the solution is to plant trees near concrete to keep it cool.But he places more of the blame on concrete's competitor, asphalt because it's black surface attracts more heat.According to the weather service, the hotter nights may be reducing humidity in Las Vegas. -
