Temperature at the top of a hill (B) was 3.5 F higher than the bottom (A). Is it really possible or could it be an error? Note that I took the temperature at the top of the hill (B) two times and got a reading between 75-76 F both times. Similarly, took readings at the bottom of the hill (A) two times and got a reading of 71-72 F both times. Bottom of the hill has several large trees with shade while the top is an open grassy surface with two small trees but no big tree with deep shade. I took temperature readings at B both using shade of a bench and the my own shadow combined with shade of small tree. No direct sunlight was on the thermometer both locations. There was a gentle breeze both locations, but more so at B than A given the open grassy surroundings. The elevation change is about 350-400 feet or little over 125 meters. Measured in F, I expected to see a drop of roughly 1.5 F using a dry adiabatic lapse rate but instead saw an increase of about 3.5 F.…
