Abstract
The climate is one of the most important environmental factors that affect human comfort and health, as the human body responds to climatic elements involuntarily due to their effect on the heat exchange process between the human body and the thermal environment in which it lives. Several thermal comfort indicators were applied to determine the limits of thermal comfort in the study area (Ghom indicator and wind cooling indicator k), which depended on the most stable climate elements in the study area (temperature, relative humidity, and wind). As a result, the climatic seasons of the year were determined based on the cold winter months (December, January, and February). The spring season is represented by the months of (March and April), which are moderate, while the summer season represents The hot months (May, June, July, August, and September). The months (October and November) represent the fall season. The study concluded after comparing the results of the monthly distribution of climate indicators with the classification limits of human thermal comfort that the state of thermal extremism did not appear, represented by the great stress that threatens health during the months of the year, while the state of severe thermal discomfort appeared clearly, especially during the day of the summer months (severe hot discomfort) and the nights of the winter months (severe cold discomfort), so these two seasons are the least suitable for practicing most types of activities in open places, while the most suitable times for practicing various activities were represented by the spring and fall seasons, as the degree of influence of climate elements on the human feeling of comfort varied during the months of the year as in Tables (3, 5), and the study recommends the necessity of linking various human activities and events to human thermal comfort and linking vacations to the months of thermal discomfort.
