Abstract
The highest air temperature values were observed in the western section of the Greater area of Athens and the western parts of the southern section, while the lowest ones were detected in the northern section and the northern parts of the eastern section. The highest relative humidity values were observed in June and July in the southern section, while in August higher values occurred in the city's center. In this study, statistical methods have been used to calculate the distribution of Humidex (H) values, the spatial distribution of the probabilities of discomfort conditions (HÂ >Â 30 and HÂ >Â 40) and the persistence of hours with great or more discomfort conditions.
