Abstract

In 2019, 10 years had passed when the creation of the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) was completed. One should remember that when completing the work on the UTCI, its creators produced a methodological framework covering: the method for calculating the UTCI, the preparation of sets of input data and the basis for interpreting UTCI values, including references to physiological processes occurring in the human body. Low UTCI values were found in the two subtropical locations for the lower threshold of the thermal comfort as compared with the original threshold. [Extracted from the article]
