Regional features of the bioclimate of Central and Southern Europe against the background of the Köppen-Geiger climate classification

Abstract: This paper presents an application of the Universal Thermal Climate Index UTCI to studies of regional variability in human-biometeorological conditions. The variability in question was assessed by reference to selected meteorological stations representing Central and Southern Europe, i.e. Kołobrzeg, Warsaw and Świeradów (in Poland), Prague, Budapest, Ljubljana, Milan, Rome and Athens, with the bioclimatic features characterising these localities being presented against the background of the Köppen-Geiger clima… Show more

“…While maximum UTCI values above 40°C in summer are not differentiated spatially across Central Europe, the frequency of occurrence of strong and very strong heat stress is diversified (Błażejczyk et al 2015). Mean number of days with strong and very strong heat stress in summer determined based on meteorological data from the period 1991-2000 in Poland is from approximately 1 day at the coast to around 4 days in Warszawa (in the central part of Poland), whereas in Prague and Budapest, the number of such days is approximately 9 and 20, respectively (Błażejczyk et al 2015). According to results of the present work, referring to a longer period, an average of one more day with such stress occurs in Warszawa (approximately 5 days) as well as in coastal stations (approximately 2 days).…”

“…It reflects the general relationship between heat load and insolation (Di Napoli et al 2018). While maximum UTCI values above 40°C in summer are not differentiated spatially across Central Europe, the frequency of occurrence of strong and very strong heat stress is diversified (Błażejczyk et al 2015). Mean number of days with strong and very strong heat stress in summer determined based on meteorological data from the period 1991-2000 in Poland is from approximately 1 day at the coast to around 4 days in Warszawa (in the central part of Poland), whereas in Prague and Budapest, the number of such days is approximately 9 and 20, respectively (Błażejczyk et al 2015).…”

“…There are many studies reporting bioclimatic potential for recreation and tourism in Poland and in Serbia. General characteristics of whole Poland were done in several publications of Błażejczyk and co-authors (Błażejczyk et al 2015. There are also researches assessing bioclimatic conditions for tourism in different regions of Poland.…”

“…Błażejczyk and Vinogradova (2014) studied the adaptation strain of tourists travelling from central and northern Europe to the Mediteranean. Several papers comparing bioclimatic conditions in various sites in Europe were also published by Błażejczyk and collaborators Błażejczyk et al 2015).…”

“…Climatic zones represented by less than five cases were excluded from further analysis. Cfa and Cwa types as well as Csa and Csb types were combined into subtropical and Mediterranean types, respectively, due to small representativeness of each group and existing similarities between them (Błażejczyk et al 2015 ). People originating from the hemiboreal warm summer continental climatic zone (Dfb), the same climate as in Warsaw, most frequently perceived thermal conditions as neutral (38.8 %), while interviewees from hot summer continental climatic zone (Dfa) most frequently declared slightly warm sensations (53.3 %) (Fig.…”
