Abstract
The statistical data about the meteorological parameters, associated with some simple thermal indices and Tourism Climate Index (TCI) (mean monthly and mean monthly maximum air temperature, mean monthly and mean monthly minimum air relative humidity, total monthly precipitation, sunshine duration, wind speed) in eight points of Adjara (Batumi, Kobuleti, Khulo, Goderdzi) and Kakheti (Telavi, Dedoplistskaro, Kvareli, Sagarejo) in the period from 1961 through 2010 are represented. In particular, the changeability of the indicated meteorological parameters into 1986÷2010 in comparison with 1986÷2010 for above enumerated points is studied.
