| dc.description.abstract | Understanding of the urban climate of a city is important for future planning and human wellbeing. The well known Physiologically Equivalent Temperature (PET) and the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) indices were calculated with RayMan model using meteorological data (2001-2011) in order to study the human thermal bioclimate of Dar es Salaam. Results indicate that afternoons from late September to May is the heat stressful period. On the other hand, the June-August period is relatively a comfortable time of the year especially the morning hours. These results are however treated as preliminary to the detailed and reliable study that uses hourly datasets and of a long duration. | en_US |
