Abstract
The paper aims to represent and scale biometeorological sensations through a thermal index which comprises the effects of temperature, humidity and wind. The cooling power of a measured combination of wind speed and air temperature is equated with that due to the combination of a reference wind speed (related to the air movement experienced by a person walking in still air), and a derived “aerodynamic” temperature. A “biometeorological” temperature which is the average of such an “aerodynamic” temperature and a conventionally measured wet bulb temperature is shown to afford a better measure of comfort in Spain than some other, alternative indices.
