Abstract：Taking Guilin as the research object,the average daily meteorological parameters of three winters from 2022 to 2024 are collected.The universal thermal climate index(UTCI)and perceived temperature(AT)are calculated,and the changes of these two indicators over time are analyzed.The results show that when the UTCI value is between 0℃and 26℃,the proportions of the three measurement time periods during which the human body feels'cool-comfortable'are 69.0%,69.0%and 74.5%,respectively.When the perceived temperature is between 7℃and 20℃,the proportions of the three measurement time periods during which the human body feels'cool to comfortable'are 70.8%,69.0%,and 64.0%,respectively.Although the winter climate in Guilin is damp and cold,there is still a considerable period of time suitable for outdoor tourism.However,the specific tourism activities still need to take into account the impact of rainfall.This research provides a reference for tourism activities and resource development in Karst Landform areas,and has a positive effect on energy-saving of air conditioning in scenic area buildings and outdoor tourism facilities.
