Is it true that large wind farms measurably change local temperature and wind patterns?
Unclear. Several modeling and satellite studies indicate that large wind farms can measurably alter local wind speeds and nighttime temperatures, but the findings are largely simulation-based or limited to specific sites and variables, so they only partially cover the claim.
