Περίληψη:
The discomfort index (DI) proposed by Thom is calculated for the summer period in Athens. The mean daily and hourly variations of the DI are given and analysed. The relation between high ambient temperatures and discomfort index is investigated. The probable persistence of the DI is evaluated while statistical methods have been used to analyse and predict spells of consecutive hours characterized by high values of the discomfort index. © 1992.
