Hydro-Meteorological Trends and Thermal Comfort of Khartoum Sudan

Abstract

This study looked at the trends in hydro-meteorological parameters (relative humidity, temperature, rainfall, and wind speed) in Khartoum, Sudan, from 1965 to 2020. The hydro meteorological data used in this study were obtained from the Khartoum Meteorological Station. The above parameters were statistically investigated, and their trends were established using Microsoft excel. The thermal comfort details for Khartoum were also analyzed on a monthly and seasonal basis. The trends of hydro-meteorological parameters and the analysis of the thermal comfort results revealed that Khartoum has experienced global warming, which causes a drop in thermal comfort. © 2022, ICST Institute for Computer Sciences, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering.
