Summary/Abstract: The paper uses data from meteorological stations operating in Zamość in the period from 1976 to 2020. The variability of the values of selected meteorological elements and climatic characteristics on a time scale was presented using the most commonly used distribution statistics, i.e. average values and variability measures. The direction of the trend of changes in air temperature was determined as well. In order to determine the bioclimatic conditions, the values of selected indicators were calculated, including equivalent temperature, effective temperature, and air cooling quantity. The conducted research indicates that in Zamość optimal thermal conditions described as pleasantly cool occur in the summer ( June, July, August), while in July they are mild. In April, May and September, the thermal sensation is characterized as cool. Generally, it is cold from November to March and very cold in January and February.
