By the end of the 1990s, average temperatures in Los Angeles had risen 3 degrees fahrenheit above those of the 1940s. One key factor is believed to be the dramatic loss of orchards and farmland in Los Angeles County in favor of homes, buildings and roads. The increased percentage of concrete and asphalt served to absorb more solar heat and heat up surrounding atmosphere, causing a massive "urban heat island." Studies suggest that a massive planting of trees in the San Fernando Valley alone might lower average temperatures as much as 9 degrees. After the 1990s, average monthly temperatures overall dropped, although these contined to be warmer than those of the 1940s. Since 2010, however, overall average temperatures have again climbed.
