Impact of climate change on Temperature Humidity Index Values in Egypt
Authors(2) :-Khalil A. A., Fayza I. Omran
Climate change will have far-reaching consequences for animal production, especially in the vulnerable parts of the world. The aim of this study is to evaluate the changes of temperature humidity index (THI) values under climate change in Egypt. The evaluation has been done on the basis of calculating the THI under future climate for 12 governorates distributed on different climatic regions (Lower, Middle and Upper Egypt). The climate change data has been obtained from the database output of regional climate change database for the agriculture sector in Egypt project during the period from 2016 up to 2060. The results indicated that, the changes in the THI values during the period from 2046 to 2060. The classifications of THI during the study period found that the moderate class show significant gradual increase with time in all studied governorates and none sever class percentage tends to decrease in all governorates to the account of increasing the mild and moderate classes. The climate change could affect animal production through increases THI values especially because of increases in air temperature.
