BIOCLIMATIC ASSESSMENT OF FAVORABLE WEATHER CONDITIONS IN ALMATY AND NUR-SULTAN

Abstract

The article analyzes quantitative indicators of severity and favorability of the weather for the meteorological stations of Almaty and Nur-Sultan from 2015 to 2020 for the warm (аpril-september) and cold (october-march) seasons of the year. The equivalent-effective temperature index, the Sayple wind cooling index and the Bodman severity index were obtained. During the quantitative assessment, it was found that winter in the city of Nur-Sultan is 1.7 times more severe, and wind cooling is 2.7 times more significant than in the city of Almaty. Weather indicators on the EET index characterize the conditions in Nur-Sultan as less favorable compared to Almaty. It is shown that the equivalent-effective temperature index is the most preferable for assessing the comfort of the weather.
