Urban Heat as a Development-Health Risk: Built-Environment Drivers of Physical Disease, Mental Well-Being and Climate-Responsive Planning

Urban Science
Although conventionally quantified as an urban–rural thermal anomaly, urban heat islands are systematic expressions of development choices that shape unequal exposures and health risks across cities.

Thermal bioclimate in Greece based on the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) and insights into 2021 and 2023 heatwaves

Theoretical and Applied Climatology
AbstractThe research on the thermal bioclimate is increasingly valuable in the context of climate change. Human well-being is threatened not only from direct exposure to extreme thermal conditions and complications from underlying health issues but also from disruptions of health and social services.

Bioclimatic conditions of Vilnius city: a Universal Thermal Climate Index analysis (1993–2024)

Baltica
This study examines bioclimatic conditions in Vilnius, Lithuania, from 1993 to 2024, using the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) to analyze trends in human thermal stress. RayMan software was employed to calculate UTCI data based on input parameters such as average air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and cloud cover.
