Stimuli character thermal conditions in the agglomeration of Szczecin

Abstract

Thermal conditions and variability of temperature from day to day of the agglomeration Szczecin was characterized on the basis of 24 hours average, maximum and minimum air temperature for the years 2005-2008 from automatic stations located in diverse urban building conditions. In the center, within the built-up area a higher air temperature (from 0.4 to 1.2°C) than on the outskirts of the city, as well as more frequent of occurrence of feelings of heat to the classes „very warm” and „hot” was found. Whereas, on the outskirts, especially the southern more frequently occurred thermal sensations associated with classes of „moderately cold” and „very cold”. On the southern outskirts of the city the largest share of variability from day to day minimum air temperature over 6°C was observed. Generally, the smallest thermal stimuli in the area of least urbanized represented by the Łączna Street was characterized
