Places with concrete flooring are in fact cooler than those with non-concrete flooring
Possible Reasons for Observations:
1. Cloud cover and position of sun at that time2. Human and experimental error.3. Different time arrived at site could affect temperature
takings.4. Confined space VS open space5. Difference in standing position ( In shade of in the sun)
