摘要：Climatic changes have enhanced the global frequency of extreme weather episodes such as storms, cold spells, heat waves, floods and droughts. These extreme events potentially impact the health condition of people and increasing risk diseases. The eastern and southern Mediterranean, will be more affected by climate change than other regions of the glob during the 21st century. This article critically projects the thermal human comfort at Tulkarm, Haifa Airport and Ben-Gurion Airport. Climate projection of ECHAM5 model, applying scenario RCP4.5 are compared to observation and there consequences in future thermal comfort are discussed. Climate projections of the thermal comfort is assessed by help of the physiologically equivalent temperature (PET), the thermal discomfort index (DI), and the universal thermal climate index (UTCI) for the year 2030 are assessed. In result, the application of PET, UTCI and DI to climate projections indicated that all regions will comparably suffer from thermal discomfort during summer months. The values of Discomfort index (DI) in Haifa Airport and Tulkarm is very similar and nearly identical. In Ben-Gurion Airport, thermal discomfort tends to increase, especially from May to September. The global trend of long-term warming continuous. The Middle East, like the rest of the world, suffers from climate change.
