Abstract. Daily measurements and observations at numerous times of air temperature, relative humidity, wind velocity and mean cloud cover arc the required data for the calculation of the Physiological Equivalent Temperature PET. PET represents a thermal index, which is based on the human energy balance of the human body, for the description of the effect of the thermal environment on humans. We analysed the thermal human bioclimate in Austria using the data from the dense climate network with daily measurements and observations at 7, 14 and 19 LST of 201 stations covering the period 1991 to 2000 as input to compute PET. The results were compared with the outcome of the computation using the synoptic data not only from Austria but also from the surrounding countries and the Alps region. The obtained results give fundamental information often demanded by the tourism and recreation authorities.
