Introduction

Interpretation of the core content of the standard

Clothing weather index is a meteorological service indicator for quantifying clothing thickness. It calculates the clothing thickness H value through the comprehensive calculation of temperature, humidity and wind speed to form a 7-level grading system:

Index level Thickness range Typical clothing Applicable scenarios
Level 1 (Severe Winter) H>25.0 Thick down jacket + gloves Extreme cold below -10℃
Level 3 (Early Winter) 8.0 Jacket + sweater 0-5℃ cold and damp weather
Level 5 (Spring and Autumn) 1.5 Long-sleeved T-shirt + jacket 15-20℃ transition season
Level 7 (Midsummer) H≤-1.2 Short-sleeved shirt + shorts High temperature above 30℃

Key Technology Analysis

Clothing Thickness Algorithm

The basic formula adopts piecewise function design for different temperature and humidity combinations:

  • Low temperature and high humidity (T≤5℃ RH≥60%): add 40% humidity correction factor
  • Medium temperature range (5: adopt the wind speed 1.5 power attenuation model
  • High temperature and high humidity (T>26℃ RH≥60%): introduce negative humidity correction

Dual correction mechanism

The final H value needs to be superimposed with two types of correction factors:

  1. Weather correction (εwea): subtract 0.5 units on sunny days
  2. Season correction (εsea): ±0.5 units in spring and autumn

Standard implementation recommendations

Meteorological service application

It is recommended to combine class=instrument>Smart Grid Forecast Implementation:

  • Morning index: based on the maximum temperature forecast of the day
  • Regional differentiation: considering the urban heat island effect
  • Special groups: ±1 level adjustment for the elderly/children

Commercial field extension

The clothing retail industry can establish:

  • Index-product mapping database
  • Dynamic window display system
  • LBS-based push service

Technical Evolution Analysis

Compared with the first edition of the standard published by the Beijing Meteorological Bureau in 1999, QX/T385-2017 has the following major improvements:

Version comparison dimensions 1999 version 2017 national standard
Parameter system Temperature only Three elements of temperature, humidity and wind
Grading granularity Level 5 Level 7
Regional adaptability Northern cities Nationally applicable

Application example in Shanghai

Meteorological data for March 15, 2022:

  • T=14℃, RH=68%, v=2.3m/s
  • Calculated H'=9.2 → Spring correction+0.5 → H=9.7
  • Corresponding to Level 3 index: Early winter clothing is recommended
