Assessment of Summer Regional Outdoor Heat Stress and Regional Comfort in the Beijing‐Tianjin‐Hebei Agglomeration Over the Last 40 Years

Abstract: Outdoor thermal comfort (OTC) is critical for public health, labor productivity, and human life. Growing extreme heat events caused by climate change have a serious impact on OTCs, especially in urban areas. Quantitatively characterizing and evaluating the spatiotemporal changes in OTCs are essential, and more applications are needed in urban agglomerations. Therefore, taking the Beijing‐Tianjin‐Hebei (BTH) urban agglomeration as the study area, this study aimed to quantitatively assess the summer regional OTC… Show more

“…Another study carried out in the Indian city of Nagpur depicted a sharp rise in the heat index and humidex as the cause of increasing mortality [19]. Over the last four decades, a drastic rise in thermal discomfort has been reported for tropical urban agglomerations [20]. There was also a considerable rise in torrid and very hot days after the COVID-19 lockdown period [21].…”

“…In summer, UTCI increased with the largest increase rate of 0.053 • C/a in northwest China [35]. Some studies have focused on changes in UTCI in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Urban Agglomeration [36], the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau [37], the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay, and other areas [38]. However, studies on thermal comfort in Xinjiang have received less attention, especially under a rapid climate change background.…”
