On the basis of hourly values of air temperature, relative humidity of air, wind speed
and cloudiness, the dimensionless index of heal load (HL) was determined for two stations in
Szczecin representing the very city centre (Piłsudskiego Street) and its northern outskirts (Łączna
Street). The analysis of HL values for the period 2005–2010 demonstrates a pronounced spatial
as well as temporal variability of biothermal conditions in Szczecin. It was found that regardless
of the analysed time period, higher values of HL were recorded in the city centre than on the
outskirts. The frequency of saving conditions (HL 0.931–1.185) in a year was, on average,
52% in the city centre and 44% on the outskirts. The toughening conditions (HL 0.811–0.930,
1.186–1.600) were recorded with the frequency of total 38% (Piłsudskiego Street) and 29%
(Łączna Street). The least favourable biothermal conditions (HL ≤ 0.750 ≥1.750) with the greatest
load on the human organism occurred only on 10% of days in a year in the city centre and 27%
of days on the outskirts of Szczecin.
