摘要：The purpose of this study is to examine the sea breeze climate and thermal human comfort in Gaza,Palestine. Analyses are based on weather data gathered at Gaza weather station. Considering thelimitation of meteorological observation, the meteorological data used to represent the outdoorenvironment were obtained from the Palestinian meteorological department over 12 yearsperiods (1995-2006). Summarizing the results, the average starting and ending times of sea breezefound between 09:00 and 15:00 UTC. Starts from March to October, with mean velocity of 3 m/sreaching a maximum at about 1500 UTC with 4.2 m/s. Spring and summer months have the mostsea breeze, while nil in winter months. Lifted condensation level (LCL) at spring and summer ofabout 742 m and 650 m respectively. The LCL is less than the limits required for inland distancepenetration of the sea breeze according to the depth of the unstable layer. Physiologically equivalenttemperature (PET) observed to varied between (34.9°C) during summer months, while (15.7 °C)during winter. Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) indicated strong thermal stress duringJuly and August months, while at the rest of the year felt under no thermal stress to moderatethermal stress. The study was suggested that, the better comfortable level found during sea breezehours at summer months.
