DimensionPhysical Env.
DescriptionAverage Local Solar Time (LST) in summer daytime.
Indicator/Index/Metrics Average LST=1N∑i=1N(Sunrise Timei+Day Lengthi2)\text{Average LST} = \frac{1}{N} \sum_{i=1}^{N} \left(\text{Sunrise Time}_i + \frac{\text{Day Length}_i}{2}\right)

Average LSTAverage LST represents the average Local Solar Time.

NN is the number of days in the summer daytime period.
Sunrise Time
ii represents the sunrise time for the ii day.
Day Length
ii represents the duration of daylight for the ii th day.
NoteHigher temperatures can cause increased mortality, reduced productivity and damage to infrastructure. The most vulnerable members of the population, such as the elderly and infants, will be most severely affected.
