An Analysis of Winter Comfortable Climate Resources in Maoming City of Guangdong Based on Climatic Comfortability

With the climatic comfortability method, the climatological normals of 1991–2020 were used to analyze the climate resources of Maoming City, a winter resort in Guangdong Province. The results show that Maoming is featured with winter comfortable resources, including the proper winter temperature, relative humidity and sunshine duration. Meanwhile, it also has a long period of comfortable winter.. It is suggested to make full use of the advantage of climate resources to make Maoming a winter resort. Under the background of global warming, the winter temperature of Maoming (December to February) has decreased in the past 30 years, accompanied with slight decrease of the number of climate comfort days. In addition, winter comfortable resources in Maoming have also shown a declining trend, with increased weather events of strong temperature drop and cold wave. Even so, the development of winter tourism in Maoming will not be greatly affected by the global climate change.
