To study the characteristics of winter microclimate environment of waterfront settlements in severe cold region, relative humidity, wind speed and air temperature of waterfront settlements in Daqing were measured during typical weather day in winter. The outdoor microclimate environment of each site was quantitatively analyzed, and the outdoor microclimate environment of waterfront settlements evaluated by calculating the wind chill temperature (WCT) of each section. The results showed that solar radiation and air temperature have significant influence on the relative humidity in waterfront settlements. The flexible layout of buildings could reduce the adverse effects of wind of severe cold regions in waterfront settlements. Total solar radiation and wind speed led to the difference in air temperature in different areas. The cold degree between the building gable walls was the highest, and the thermal comfort was the worst. The cold degree of enclosed building layout was the lowest, and the thermal comfort was the best.
