| description | The thermal comfort is an expression of the satisfaction feeling in relation to the weather conditions. A variable environment is a permanent source of stress for the human being. To maintain the human body in a thermal balance is possible only if the thermo-regulatory mechanism does not make significant efforts to create a state of physiological comfort. The present study proposes an assessment of the Relative Stress/Tension Index (RSI) regime specific of the Eastern Romanian Plain, for the period between 1990 and 2020. This type of assessment is useful in adopting the most efficient strategies for the adaptation and mitigation to the bioclimatic conditions in the vulnerable regions. Applicability is possible through personal adjustments to cope with the heat stress, realistic planning of living, recreation and health care facilities etc. In general, the detailed assessment of the bioclimatic indices is interesting and useful in studying their space and time variation. It is also useful to apply a single reference scale for people to make appropriate decisions about exposure to outdoor conditions, regardless of the time of day. Along with the presentation of the weather, it is necessary to describe the conditions of the comfort or the physiological risk related to the climate. |
