    www.actoolsupply.com Weather Environmental conditions, including time of day, humidity, and precipitation, will affect image quality and contrast. Fog, smog and rain will decrease the range at which you can detect a given target. After sunset, objects warmed by the sun during the day will radiate their stored heat for several hours. Early in the morning, many of these objects will appear cooler than their surroundings, so be sure to look for subtle temperature differences in the scene, not just hot (white) targets.
