Variations in outdoor thermal comfort in an urban park in the hot-summer and cold-winter region of China

Dong Wei et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of different landscapes in an urban park in Chengdu on human thermal comfort and determines thermal benchmarks. The research finds that human thermal sensation is influenced by different meteorological factors in different seasons. Additionally, the influence of landscape space on human thermal comfort varies greatly depending on the season.

Centennial changes in heat waves characteristics in Athens (Greece) from multiple definitions based on climatic and bioclimatic indices

Dimitra Founda et al.

Summary: Heat waves have significant impacts on society and the environment. This study investigates the long-term statistics and trends in heat wave characteristics in the eastern Mediterranean and introduces new definitions. The results show deviations between different definitions, but regardless of the definition, there is a significant increase in the number and frequency of heat wave events in the area.

Universal Climate Thermal Index as a prognostic tool in medical science in the context of climate change: A systematic review

Jerzy Romaszko et al.

Summary: Assessing the impact of meteorological factors on diseases and human physiology requires a comprehensive approach and new tools. The Universal Climate Thermal Index (UTCI) is gaining recognition as a useful tool for such assessments. This study systematically reviewed literature to identify areas of medical science where the UTCI has been applied and found that the majority of studies focused on mortality, cardiac events, and emergency medicine.

A systematic review advocating a framework and benchmarks for assessing outdoor human thermal perception

Oded Potchter et al.

Summary: Since the early 2000's, there has been a significant focus on human thermal assessment in urban outdoor environments. However, the absence of an agreed protocol for outdoor bio-meteorological research has resulted in complexity when comparing study results. This complexity arises from the variety of thermal indices, interpretations of bio-meteorological terms, data collection procedures, and methods for determining thermal comfort ranges. This study aims to review strategies and methods for human bio-meteorological research and suggests a framework for future research to ensure accurate assessment of thermal perception.

Evaluating the effects of different mitigation strategies on the warm thermal environment of an urban square in Athens, Greece

A. Tseliou et al.

Summary: This study examined the impact of different mitigation strategies on microclimate and thermal sensation in an urban open area in Athens. The combination of design scenarios was found to be the most advantageous strategy for improving thermal comfort, with significant reductions in PET and UTCI.

Is Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET) a superior screening tool for heat stress risk than Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) index? Eight years of data from the Gothenburg half marathon

Sofia Thorsson et al.

Summary: The physiological equivalent temperature (PET) showed the strongest correlation with ambulance-required assistances and collapses during a city half marathon compared with the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) and the Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT). The PET is a better predictor of collapses during a half marathon and should be further investigated as a screening tool alongside the WBGT.
