Abstract: The study was aimed at describing the temperature humidity index (THI) dynamics over the Mediterranean basin for the period 1951–2007. Results indicated that several areas of the basin present summer THI values which were unfavorable to cow welfare and productivity, and that risk of heat stress for cows is generally greater in the countries of the south coast of the basin. Furthermore, THI data from the summer 2003 revealed that severe positive anomalies may impact areas normally characterized
