Extract

The temperature of the air depends on so many varying factors that its prediction is a matter of considerable difficulty, and can only be made with any degree of certainty when the minimum number of these factors is at work. Underground temperatures are dependent not only on the same factors as affect the air temperature, but, in addition, are much more affected by conductivity, rainfall, evaporation, latent heat, etc., and thus the changes in temperature beneath the surface of the soil constitute a much more complex problem.
