Understanding of the urban climate of a city is important for future planning and human wellbeing. The well known Physiologically Equivalent Temperature (PET) and the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) indices were calculated with RayMan model using meteorological data (2001-2011) in order to study the human thermal bioclimate of Dar es Salaam. Results indicate that afternoons from late Sep...

The study deals with an assessment and interpretation of the bioclimatic conditions in Vranje (southern Serbia). aims at temporal distributions focussing on extreme thermal stress based Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI). meteorological data required for calculation UTCI concern hourly (7 14 CET) weather collected period 2000-2017. frequency very strong heat (VSHS), cold (VSCS) (ECS) both m...

Europe has been affected by record-breaking heat waves in recent decades. Using station data and a gridded reanalysis as input, four commonly used wave indices, the magnitude index daily (HWMId), excess factor (EHF), wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) universal thermal climate (UTCI), are computed. The extremeness of historical European between 1979 2019 using indices different metrics is ranked...

The high-density development of urban centers has worsened outdoor thermal comfort in many cities. In this study, ENVI-met was used to simulate comfort, and the universal climate index (UTCI) eight morphological indicators were calculated at 348 sampling points center. correlation results are shown as follows: (1) Thermal is significantly positively correlated with impervious surface, green are...

This study uses the universal thermal climate index (UTCI) and whole-body local cooling assessment to determine benchmarks cold risk for children in China’s severe regions. The relevant measurements survey were conducted four open spaces at a children’s park Harbin, China. findings of are as follows: (1) In winter, solar radiation global temperature affects winter sensation male female most. (2...

In this review we examine how self-paced performance is affected by environmental heat stress factors during cycling time trial performance as well as considering the effects of exercise mode and heat acclimatization. Mean power output during prolonged cycling time trials in the heat (≥30°C) was on average reduced by 15% in the 14 studies that fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Ambient temperatu...

The present study compared simple thermal indices and the indices derived from energy budget models in the northwest of Iran. For this purpose, the air temperature, solar radiation, relative humidity, cloud, cover and wind speed of 13 meteorological stations in the northwest of Iran during the  the period of 1986 to 2007 were selected for comparison. The results which were extracted using Biokl...
