Abstract:Human comfort degree index was reckoned for the assessment of climate suitability for human settlement environment of Zhejiang,by using 43 years climate data.The results showed that Zhejiang province was highly habitable for human because the occurring probability of extremely hot or cold weather was very low,that was,the climate probability of grade Ⅰ (very cold,extremely uncomfortable) or Ⅷ (hot,very uncomfortable) are 0.07% and 0.78% respectively.The climate probability of grade Ⅸ (very hot,extremely uncomfortable) is almost 0.The climate probability of grade Ⅳ-Ⅵ (relatively comfortable to comfortable) suitability degree was up to 55.0%,and that of grade Ⅴ (comfortable) was 33.1%,the maximum probability.May and October were the most comfortable time in Zhejiang,its climate possibility of the grade Ⅴ suitability degree was more than 99%,while the climate suitability degree in January was the lowest.The grade Ⅶ suitability degree that implied warm and uncomfortable,mainly occurred in July (62.3%) and August (42.8%),and its probability distribution appeared that the values in coast area were less than that of inland area,values of south area were less than that of north,and the values of Zhejiang central area were higher than that of south and north area.
