The temperature dependence of the vortex penetration and expulsion magnetic fields are investigated, both theoretically and experimentally, for mesoscopic superconducting squares. The small-tunnel-junction method is used to determine the transition fields between the different vortex states. We found that the penetration fields decrease with increasing temperature, while the expulsion fields for a particular vorticity may increase, decrease or be independent of temperature. Using the Ginzburg-Landau theory we link the different temperature dependencies to the configuration of the vortex state, i.e. giant vortex state versus multivortex state. The vortex state consisting of four vortices has a larger stability region which is most pronounced in a certain high-temperature range.
