The work aims to analyze long-term trends in weak wind patterns and their impact on urban thermal comfort in Tel Aviv.
Analyzed historical wind speed data from 1940 to 2025.
Calculated the Summer Weak Wind Stagnation Indicator (WWSI-S) based on cumulative weak wind speeds.
Determined average summer periods using local air temperature data over the past 11 years.
Average annual weak wind speed in summer rose by 0.0025 km/hr per year overall.
Average summer weak wind increased from 5.5 to 5.7 km/hr for the 10 km/hr threshold.
Thermal comfort improved by 8.5% between 1940 and 2025 due to weak winds.
