Abstract

Imetos paranometer was used to measure rainfall precipitation, atmospheric temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, maximum and minimum dew points in the study area with geographical compass of Lat. 7.670N, Long. 5.310E. Data were recorded at every one hour from year 2013 to 2016. In addition, a Thermo-hygrometer was used to record air temperatures and relative humidity to validate the measurements of the paranometer. By involving statistical and time series techniques, the data obtained from the study were fitted into mathematical models of wind chill temperature index, the humidity controlled air temperature index and the heat index to determine the internal body temperature required to better understand the consequences of changing atmospheric temperature on human health.
The study has established that long term good health of humans depends on continued climate stability and that empirical knowledge of health consequences associated with changing atmospheric temperature in tropical climate can be used to predict possible corresponding health implication of people living in the area. The study therefore recommends further research into the subject and continuous enlightenment of the society about climate change dynamics in their locations.
