Climate parameters in days of blood and sperm samples collection.

Data are the climate values the day of collection. For blood collection dates, the mean from 2 days before to the day of collection is also presented. Data from: Manzanares (Ciudad Real) Meteorological Station, coordinates 654m–38° 59’47N–03° 22’23W (http://crea.uclm.es/siar). AvT = average temperature (°C); MaT = maximum temperature (°C); MiT = minimum temperature (°C); Rh = average relative humidity (%); Rhmax = maximum relative humidity (%); Rhmin = minimum relative humidity (%); THIavr = THI calculated with the average temperature and relative humidity; THImax = THI calculated with the maximum temperature and the maximum relative humidity; Temperature humidity index (THI) calculated as THI = T-[0.31(1-RH)(T-14.4)], T = temperature in °C; RH = relative humidity/100 [21].
