Bioclimatic conditions of Lublin based on the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI)

Bioclimatic conditions of Lublin based on the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI)

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 were neutral for the human organism. At the ana...

The paper shows that in Lublin and Radawiec, the most frequent biometeorological conditions caused no heat stress and were neutral for the human organism. At the analysed stations, biometeorological conditions causing cold stress occurred more frequently than those causing heat stress. Biometeorological conditions in the analysed period were characterised by high year-to-year variability. We observed that in recent years there was an increase in frequency of conditions favouring heat stress and a decrease in conditions favouring cold stress.https://doi.org/10.2478/mgrsd-2020-0025urban bioclimatologybioclimatologyutcilublin
