This study investigated the impact of seasonal land cover changes on human thermal comfort outdoors in Harare, Zimbabwe in Southern Africa. During the period, 1990-2023, Zimbabwe's climate has been gradually changing depicting less seasonal average rainfall The mean minimum temperatures range from 5. Within the framework of rapid urban growth and global warming, land surface temperature (LST) and its elevation have potential significant socio-economic and environmental implications. Multi-temporal thermal infrared and in situ air temperature data were used to develop simple linear regression model for retrieving air temperature from land. This page offers a comprehensive overview of Zimbabwe's climate zones of temperature and precipitation with reflection of their climatological seasonal cycle, drawing on the Köppen-Geiger classification system and recent historical data from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU). It is a member of the UNSD Expert Group on Environment and Climate Change Statistics (EG-ECCS). The Country has a legal framework for production of official statistics for which.
