Trends and Climatology of UTCI in the Czech Republic
COMECAP 2023, 2023 We present climatology and trends of the UTCI obtained from the ERA5 reanalysis between 1941 and 2018 for the Czech Republic. Long-term average of the UTCI exposes regions with approximately similar stress levels given by weather on humans, and it also forms the basis for the first bioclimatological mapping of the Czech Republic.

HomoTherm: An Open-Source Approach to Modelling Heat Exchange in Humans and Other Hominins in Diverse Environments. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolWe present ‘HomoTherm’, a human heat budget model for simulating humans and related species with diverse traits in diverse environments. It is part of the NicheMapR package for biophysical modelling and is a multi‐part extension of the ‘endoR’ function.

Influence of NAO on forming the UTCI index in Kłodzko [PDF]
Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2020 AbstractThe aim of this paper is to understand the role of the macrocirculation factor in shaping the dynamics of long-term bioclimatic conditions, with reference to Kłodzko in the Polish part of the Central Sudetes. The variability of bioclimatic conditions in Kłodzko for the period 1966–2017 was analysed, exposing its local specificity. The Universal

Characteristics of human thermal stress in South Asia during 1981–2019
Environmental Research Letters, 2022 Climate change has significantly increased the frequency and intensity of human thermal stress, with relatively more severe impacts than those of pure temperature extremes.

An introduction to the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) [PDF]
Geographia Polonica, 2013 The assessment of the thermal environment is one of the main issues in bioclimatic research, and more than 100 simple bioclimatic indices have thus far been developed to facilitate it. However, most of these indices have proved to be of limited applicability, and do not portray the actual impacts of thermal conditions on human beings.

Evaluation of heat exposure in baker’s workers using WBGT, HSI and UTCI indices
Muhandisī-i bihdāsht-i ḥirfah/ī, 2021 Background Heat is one of the most important physical harmful factors in many work environments. Due to the nature of work, bakery activity is considered as one of the high-risk occupations in terms of heat stress.
