Through data analysis using the meteorological data during 40 years(1961～2000) for 2 stations(Daegu and Chupungnyong), we studied the present condition and long-term trends in urban climatic environments of Daegu.
It was found that there was about 1.5℃ rise in annual mean temperature of Daegu from 1961 to 2000. On the other hand, that of Chupungnyung was not more than 0.4℃ for the same period. The regional disparity in temperature changes has been caused by the difference of urban effects on climate between two regions. In particular, the urban warming appears more significant in winter season. There was about 3℃ rise in annual mean daily minimum temperature of winter season(Dec.～Feb.) in Daegu. As the result, the number of winter days continuously decreased from 115 days(1961) to 75 days(2000).
The long-term trends of relative humidity were also studied to exame the effects of urbanization on climate in Daegu. It was found that there was about 7% decrease in relative humidity of Daegu during past 40 years(1961～2000). On the other side, the decrease of Chupungnyung was not more than 2% for the same period. The ong-term trends of the other climatic factors(fog days, tropical night days, etc) were also studied in this study.
