Abstract

Human comfort and discomfort over the different parts of the country in the morning and evening hours for the different months of the year are studied on the basis of maps showing the isopleths of Thom's discomfort index, computed from the Climatological Tables of Observatories in India (1931-1960). Discomfort over Delhi for the winter months (November to March) has also been evaluated from Siple and Passel's wind chill index and the results compared with those obtained from  the Indian la Thom's discomfort index.
