Urban thermal comfort trends in Sri Lanka: the increasing overheating problem and its potential mitigation.

This scenario will improve the afternoon comfort even further, where 9 months will move from ‘warm’ to ‘slightly warm.’ However, it is worth noting that the thermal comfort situation in the most recent years (2015–2020) is approaching the limits of tolerance: even the ‘best’ scenario (high shading, N-S orientation with high vegetation) is approaching the threshold of ‘strong heat stress.’ Implications and conclusions In this paper, we have shown an increasing trend in thermal stress in Sri Lanka.
