Temperature series of the original individual measurements of the minimum and maximum daily
temperatures from 24 stations located in different regions of Europe are considered with the objective
of studying the stability or the variability of the “climate” in time and space. The patterns of the
temperature statistics, the shapes of probability density functions, in particular, at different places and
times allow comparisons based on the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, the Shannon entropy, and cluster
analysis, used separately or in combination for the purposes of quantitative climate classification.
