Abstract. The processing and spatial analysis of climatic data are essential for assessing thermal regime variability at the regional scale and supporting engineering applications based on geospatial information. This study aims to process and spatially analyze air temperature data in the extra-Carpathian region of Romania using Geographic Information Systems, for the period 2012–2017, relative to the 1981–2010 climatological reference interval. Air temperature data provided by the National Meteorological Administration were integrated into a GIS environment and processed using spatial analysis techniques to derive seasonal temperature distributions. Comparative analysis revealed significant spatial and seasonal variability of air temperature, with higher values observed particularly during spring and summer compared to the long-term mean. The proposed methodology provides a reproducible technical framework applicable to climate engineering, environmental engineering, and regional geospatial analysis.
Keywords: air temperature, climate variability, spatial analysis, geographic information systems, Romania.
