What is it about?
Weather warmths were defined by weather data, warm weathers were often used to assess potential overheating in buildings. Using various metrics one can judge 'A' weather is warmer than 'B' weather. When it comes the overheating assessment in building, whether weather 'A' is causing a 'warmer' indoor conditon than weather 'B' is another question. This research was to assess whehter the outdoor warmth can correlate well with the predicted indoor warmth using various single offices (parametric study).

Why is it important?
For assessing overheating in buildings, appropriate warm weathers should be used. This research is to assess whether the existing near extreme weather definition is fit for purpose.
Perspectives
The work does not provide new solutions, it is viewed as an assessment of existing definitions, critical appraisal of the new standard weather data.
