Colder.

As a rough rule of thumb the lapse rate is 1°C for every 150 metres of altitude gained or 1°F for every 250 feet. It's only a rough rule as it's affected by latitude, pressure, humidity etc.

At an elevation of 1,086 feet you could expect the temperature to be anywhere between 1.622 and 2.920°C (3.238 and 5.828°F) colder than at sea level.

In general, if you gain height the temperature drops but there can occasionally be localised weather conditions that turn this on it's head, this is called a temperature inversion.

merely to tutor i'm paying interest, even nonetheless Trevor is positively greater valuable suggested than i'm, and because this simpleminded precis may well be powerful to a pair human beings. The sunspot mechanism has been invoked to describe the Maunder minimum, yet a reducing of entire image voltaic output via 0.4% seems lots greater probable. The sunspot mechanism isn't intrinsically unbelievable. Fewer sunspots, weaker image voltaic magnetic field, greater cosmic rays getting with the aid of to earth and seeding very extreme cloud, inflicting cooling. How appropriate it quite is to the final decade, i don't know adequate to assert. Sealevel upward thrust is gradual because of main significant contribution from thermal growth of the oceans, that's an rather long-time era technique. So the worst-case subject of around 7 m might ensue over centuries. that is all suggested at some intensity in Houghton "worldwide warming, the comprehensive briefing". Houghton replaced into for sure Professor at that infamous den of iniquity, the atmospheric physics branch of the college of Oxford

1,086 feet above sea level is generally colder than 1 foot above msl.
