Annotation:

Based on the data of observations of 50 meteorological stations in Georgia, spanning the period from 1936 to 2011, several temperature indices of the climate change have been researched – extreme temperatures, frosty and hot days. Geoinformational maps of spatial structure have been built and the dynamic of the indices over the period of global warming have been studied. Average values of indices for various averaging times have been determined. Obtained results can be used in generalizing corresponding indices for the Caucasus region, Black Sea basin or Southwest Asia.
