Urban Canyon Outdoor Microclimate Field Measurements in Cairo, Egypt

Monitored meteorological data, namely, air temperature, wind speed, wind direction, solar radiation, relative humidity, and dew point temperature using the Onset HOBO-U30 weather station. Monitored black globe temperature using the Extech HT30 Heat Stress WBGT Meter. Data were monitored at the centre of a street canyon in a university campus. The 50m long and 13m wide urban canyon consists of office buildings, oriented 42◦ North-East (from North). Building heights are asymmetrical - 12m for the Northwestern building, and 17m for the Southeastern building (H/W of 0.9:1:1.3). Measurements were monitored from 07:00 to 19:00 on 6th August 2017.
