ΔUTCI is defined as the orientation-specific median UTCI minus the across-orientation mean of the 24 medians. Observed range in this dataset: min −0.327 °C at 105°; max +0.250 °C at 15°. Axis: 0° at north, clockwise; bar width = 15°.Notes (for all Figures). UTCI Universal Thermal Climate Index, MRT mean radiant temperature, WS wind speed, SVF, sky view factor. Unless stated otherwise, 0° = north and azimuth increases clockwise; Δ indicates departure from the across-orientation mean of the same variable.
