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.

Optimising the urban environment through holistic Microclimate Modelling – The case of Beirut's pericenter [PDF]

, 2016
Various studies have suggested that urbanisation may significantly alter microclimate conditions. To address this, expanding urban vegetation cover can be used to aid the dissipation of excess heat through enhancing evapotranspiration. This study aims to

Influence of Vegetation Phenology on Urban Microclimate and Thermal Comfort in Cold Regions: A Case Study of Beiyang Plaza, Tianjin University

Buildings
Vegetation phenology significantly influences urban microclimate and thermal comfort in cold regions, yet its quantitative impact—specifically the potential of deciduous trees to enhance winter solar access—remains underexplored.
