The thermal comfort in a building enables the spread of communicable diseases or initiate skin irritations amongst others. Most models on thermal comfort have proven to be localized in the application, as thermal comfort depends on the climatic condition over a geographical area. Based on the above, there is the need to adopt the local method to understand the thermal comfort indexes in Agege. Thirty-nine years dataset (1980-2018) of temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and wind direction was obtained from MERRA-NASA database for Agege, Lagos Nigeria. The dataset was divided into early dry season (i.e. September, October, November- SON), late dry season (i.e. December, January February-DJF), early wet season (i.e. March, April, May – MAM) and late wet season (i.e. June, July, August-JJA). It was observed that the effect of climate change was significant. Hence, it is recommended that the inhabitants of the area should go green by planting trees and shrubs. Also, there is a need to modify the urban plan to decongest the area.
