Thermal comfort within cities is a health hazard due to urban heat island phenomenon. Also with the increasing temperature extremes, it becomes important to understand the extent and locations of thermal hotspots especially within a city. Therefore, this study will try to map the thermal comfort of humans within Ahmedabad city using Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI).
