Abstract:

Based on the meteorological data of average air temperature, wind velocity and relative humidity in summer (JuneAugust) from 1986 to 2015 in the Yichang, the climate comfort of Yichang in summer was analyzed by means of fuzzy mathematics and the model for calculating the human comfort index. The results show that: the comfort index in June of Yichang is highest, index of discomfort is the lowest, while the average hot days is 18 days. The index of discomfort in July is the highest, and the average hot days is 19 days. The climatic comfortability is worse compared to June. The index of discomfort in August is lower compared to June, and the average hot days is 21 days, the number of hotter days is the most. There is a slight difference in climate comfort among the 3 months. In general, the climate in Yichang is comfortable in the summer, and the uncomfortable climate is mainly caused by high temperatures.

Key words: Yichang, human comfort index, summer, fuzzy evaluation
