This study includes the calculation and analysis of temperature anomalies, their trends and variations of daily and monthly data, obtained from the records of the main meteorological stations that the Nicaraguan Institute of Territorial Studies (INETER) has in Nicaragua. In addition, anomaly maps were obtained through NASA's Giovanni platform. For this, the average and maximum temperature records of the main meteorological stations in Nicaragua were collected and analyzed during the period from 2016 to 2020. The average temperature of each main annual station was first determined from these records, and it was obtained with this
the total representative average for the Nicaraguan territory and in order to obtain the monthly and annual temperature anomaly, to compare the temperature anomalies through NASA's Giovanni platform with the average and maximum temperature anomalies, during that same period. The results show that warm (cold) events are related to dry and rainy seasons. These relationships can be useful in climate prediction, and particularly the event associated with ENSO that precedes precipitation or temperature.
