1. Increased cloud cover will lead to warmer winters due to clouds reflecting more intense solar energy.
2. Cloudy conditions reduce diurnal range of temperature.
Which of the Statements given above is/are correct?

Both 1 and 2
Neither 1 nor 2
The diurnal temperature range (DTR) is the difference between the daily maximum and minimum temperature. Changes in DTR have multiple possible causes (cloud cover, urban heat, land use change, aerosols, water vapor and greenhouse gases). Different regions are affected by different factors.
During the day, the earth is heated by the sun. If skies are clear, more heat reaches the earth's surface. This leads to warmer temperatures. However, if skies are cloudy, some of the sun's rays are reflected off the cloud droplets back into space. Therefore, less of the sun's energy will reach the earth's surface, which causes the earth to heat up more slowly. This leads to cooler temperatures. Thus, due to clouds reflecting more intense solar energy, winter would be much cooler.
Further, if clouds are present, some of the heat emitted from the earth's surface is trapped by the clouds and reemitted back towards the earth. As a result, temperatures decrease more slowly than if the skies were clear. Thus, cloud cover reduces diurnal range of the temperature.
