Strong instability occurred in the vicinity of the area as a result of surface heating.

Strong surface heating is another factor typical for generating showers.

Surface catalysis plays a role in the calculation of surface heating, meaning that the type of surface material also has an effect on the flow.

Veering winds with height indicate warm air advection; this, coupled with strong surface heating, contribute significantly to destabilization of the atmosphere.

Both the increase in Pangean surface area and the equitable dissemination of the land mass across the hemispheres maximized surface heating during the summer.

The stronger the surface heating was, the more extreme the convection.

Electric heat tracing, heat tape or surface heating, is a system used to maintain or raise the temperature of pipes and vessels.

It then strikes the earth's surface heating it.

Strong surface heating occurs by day and rapid cooling by night, and usually even the hottest days have cool nights.

Given sufficient surface heating, a late-day rainstorm may continue to develop into the night, produce early precipitation, then dissipate by late morning.
