Use of the UTCI in the Czech Republic

Geographia Polonica, 2013
The new Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) was designed for use in the human bioclimatology and biometeorology field. This article describes a set of basic tests used to test the UTCI. These tests were made using real data from selected meteorological stations in the Czech Republic.

From Physiology to Bioheat Simulation: A Data‐Driven Framework for Core Temperature Initialization

Heat Transfer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate initialization of core body temperature is a critical yet often overlooked component of bioheat transfer models, particularly when such models are applied to heterogeneous populations and real‐world environmental conditions. Conventional bioheat simulations typically rely on fixed or idealized core body temperature values derived from

Spatio‐Temporal Analysis of Human Thermal Comfort and Relationships With Large‐Scale Climate Indices Along Ghana's Coastal‐Urban Corridor From 1980 to 2020

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Four decades of UTCI data show increasing thermal stress along Ghana's coastal‐urban corridor, with very strong heat‐stress days rising by about 1.4 days/year. Random Forest–SHAP analysis with temporal validation identified AOD as the strongest model‐based predictor of monthly UTCI variability, followed by TSA, WHWP, and AMO.

UTCI Based Assessment of Urban Outdoor Thermal Comfort in Belgrade, Serbia [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Scientific Conference - Sinteza 2020, 2020
The main purpose of this research is to assess the outdoor thermal comfort (OTC) of Belgrade, in order to investigate how distinct bioclimatic conditions influence on the human organism during the summer in urban environments. Universal Thermal Climate Index, which represents the heat stress of the human organism caused by meteorological conditions ...

Assessment of Human Thermal Stress Dynamics and Regional Drivers Across the Arabian Peninsula During 1990–2022 From Observations

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The results reveal that thermal stress varies substantially across the four AP regions, with winter cold stress in Region I, year‐round heat stress in Region II, pronounced summer heat stress in Region III, and persistent strong to very strong heat stress from late spring to early autumn in Region IV.

Heat Waves in Sarajevo in the Period 1901-2018

Revija za Geografijo, 2023
The article analyzes heat waves in Sarajevo in the period 1901—2018. We presented the trends in the number of heat waves, their length, the highest air temperatures during heat waves and the cumulative highest temperatures during heat waves.
