Abstract: Abstract Local climate in an area is significantly affected by the extent of urbanization. The microclimatic parameters such as wind speed (W), relative humidity (RH) and temperature (T) are affected due to modifications in natural surfaces and land use. With increasing interest in urban microclimate research, factors such as energy conversation, environmental sustainability, and urban design with thermal comfort are researched extensively. The current study attempts to model T, W and RH in an urban landscape of Nagpur City by solving the microclimate governing equations using python and ArcGIS. Numeral field measurements are carried out during summer and winter seasons for validation of modeled data. The results show a statistically positive and significant correlation between modeled and monitored data (p
