Determining the Physiological Climate Patterns in the City of Kikla According to Terjung’s Classification

Abstract

The study aims to analyze the climatic elements that have a clear impact on human comfort and sensation, in order to determine the physiological climate patterns in the city of Kikla. This was carried out by relying on climatic data such as monthly and annual averages of temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed, and applying Terjung’s classification to achieve the study objectives. These objectives focus on examining the climatic characteristics of the study area, identifying the physiological climate patterns using Terjung’s classification, and reaching results and recommendations. Among the most important findings is the existence of several physiological climate patterns ranging between comfort and discomfort. This enables the city’s residents and visitors to identify the most suitable and unsuitable months for performing their tasks and engaging in various activities, considering that climate is the fundamental factor upon which humans rely when undertaking different activities.
