humidity, and opaque cloud cover from 14 climate stations across the Canadian Prairies to analyze the impact of agricultural land use change on the diurnal cycle climate, represented by the mean temperature and relative humidity and their diurnal ranges. We show the difference between the years 1953–1991 and 1992–2011. The land use changes have been largest in Saskatchewan where 15–20 % of the land area has been converted in the past four decades from summer fallow (where the land was left bare for 1 year) to annual cropping. During the growing season from 20 May to 28 August, relative humidity has increased by about 7%. During the first 2months, 20 May to 19 July, maximum temperatures and the diurnal range of temperature have fallen by 1.2...
