  • Nights are not just dark; they are also cool. In colder climes, this fall in temperature is seldom welcome. But in hot regions, the night comes as a sweet relief. Many animals-including people take it easy during the sweltering day and kick into action only when the sun goes down. Now nights are getting hotter. That's not surprising on a warming planet, but what is surprising is that the nights are warming up much more than the days. The consequences will be far-reaching. Here, Jones talks about the temperature during night time.
