Thermal comfort indices derived from ERA5 reanalysis

This dataset provides a complete historical reconstruction for a set of indices representing human thermal stress and discomfort in outdoor conditions. This dataset, also known as ERA5-HEAT (Human thErmAl comforT) represents the current state-of-the-art for bioclimatology data record production. The dataset is organised around two main variables: the mean radiant temperature (MRT) the universal thermal climate index (UTCI) These variables describe how the human body experiences atmospheric condi
