This book introduces the UTCI (Universal Thermal Climate Index) and
summarizes progress in this area. The UTCI was developed as part of
the European COST Action Program and first announced to the
scientific community in 2009. Since then, a decade has followed of
applicability tests and research results, as well as knowledge
gained from applying the UTCI in human adaptation and thermal
perception. These findings are of interest to researchers in the
interdisciplinary areas of biometeorology, climatology and urban
planning. The book summarizes this progress, discussing the
limitations found and provides pointers to future developments. It
also discusses UTCI applications in the areas of human
biometeorology and urban planning including possibilities of using
UTCI and similar indices in climate-responsive urban planning. The
book's message is illustrated with many case studies from the real
world. Chapter 10 is available open access under a Creative Commons
