An introduction to the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) [PDF]
Geographia Polonica, 2013 The assessment of the thermal environment is one ofthe main issues in bioclimatic research, and more than 100 simple bioclimatic indices have thus far been developed to facilitate it.

Bioclimatic conditions of Lublin based on the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) [PDF]
Miscellanea Geographica: Regional Studies on Development, 2020 The objective of this paper is to describe bioclimatic conditions in Lublin and Radawiec in the period 1976–2015 using the UTCI index. The paper shows that in Lublin and Radawiec, the most frequent biometeorological conditions caused no heat stress and ...

Principles of the New Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) and its Application to Bioclimatic Research in European Scale [PDF]
Miscellanea Geographica: Regional Studies on Development, 2010 During the last century about 100 indices were developed to assess influences of the atmosphere on human being. However, most of them have not close relationships with physiological reactions in man.

Temperature-Humidity-Dependent Wind Effects on Physiological Heat Strain of Moderately Exercising Individuals Reproduced by the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI). [PDF]
Biology (Basel), 2023 Increasing wind speed alleviates physiological heat strain; however, health policies have advised against using ventilators or fans under heat wave conditions with air temperatures above the typical skin temperature of 35 °C. Recent research, mostly with sedentary participants, suggests mitigating the effects of wind at even higher temperatures ...

Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI): a challenge for the indoor thermal environment assessment
, 2011 Bioclimatic indices, primarily devoted to the weather forecasts, in some cases are also used for the indoor thermal environment assessment with a consequent underestimation of both comfort and stress situations.
