Microclimates in tropical urban complexes
Abstract Irrespective of the location, heat islands are formed either at highly commercial places or densely populated areas. Utilizing the traditional airport meterological data and city centre data, diurnal, seasonal and annual variations of temperature, dew point, winds, visibility, stability, mixing height and ventilation coefficient and the diffusion climatology of urban and rural complexes are studied. At street level, temperature, humidity and wind on the exposed side are quite different from shaded areas. These are also influenced not only by size, shape and orientation of buildings but also by their location in urban, suburban or rural surroundings. Temperature decreases up to 3 °C and dew point increases by the same amount in shade. Vegetated areas reduced air temperature by 1.5 °C and increased dew point even by 5 °C. Discomfort prevailed on the exposed side as well as on the shaded side at different times of the day and was found to be a function of dimension, orientation and location of the building.
