Abstract
The development of tourist areas is highly dependent on their facilities and attractions. The comfort level greatly affects nature-based tourism, which is based on outdoor activities. Palabuhanratu is popular with tourists because of its natural attractions, such as its beaches, water sports, and the new Ciletuh Geopark. The temperature and humidity of the air at the surface influence how comfortable travelers are in the area. These parameters are to be sensed directly by tourists participating in outdoor activities. The Temperature-Humidity Index (THI), based on the two climate parameters mentioned above, is used to show the comfort level. Spatiotemporal analysis based on GIS is used in this study, utilizing the ERA5 Reanalysis data for 1991–2020. The goal of this study is to find out how climate impacts comfort levels so that people can know when the best time is to visit. The THI values are highest in May, which means that this is the worst time of year to go to the area for outdoor activities. An examination of the diurnal pattern of THI is also carried out to demonstrate the sub-daily scale variation for further consideration.
