| Summary: | Given the increase in energy consumption in the Republic of Panama due to the thermal sensation in the population, the idea of verifying the existence of an increase in temperature over time was born. With this objective, records of maximum temperatures of the meteorological stations of Empresa de Transmission Eléctrica, S.A. (ETESA) are analyzed for the period between 2010-2017. As there are no records for many areas in the country, maximum temperature data are tabulated by months and averages are calculated by year. These values are used to create maps of maximum temperatures in the national territory using the ArcGIS program. These maps confirmed a considerable increase in temperature since 2010. |
