Analysis and assessment of microclimatological data can aid urban architects and engineers to optimize human comfort through environmentally sustainable practices. The results indicated that the long-term measurements of total solar insolation and ambient temperatures have increased by 2.9% and 6.5% respectively. Albedo resulted in good correlation with heating coefficients and temperature of R 2 = 0.89 and 0.63 respectively. Annual cooling degree days and heating degree days have reduced, while annual mean ambient temperatures and annual solar radiation have increased.
