The spatial distribution of precipitation, temperature and climate indices has been represented in the Emilia-Romagna region with an aim to characterize its climate. The Johansson Continentality Index, the Kerner Oceanity Index, the De Martonne Aridity Index and the Pinna Combinative Index are the climate indices used in the present report based on data from 21 meteorological stations located in Emilia-Romagna and its surroundings. The analysed climate data are from the 1961-1990 period. Monthly precipitation and temperature diagrams from the Borgo Panigale station were computed for use in agricultural fields, hydrological sciences and climatology applications. Based on the findings of the climate analysis, the spatial variation of climate indices was estimated using the Kriging ordinary function, available in ArcGIS 10.2.2 environment.
