Resumen

Se analizaron los posibles efectos de la actividad solar en la temperatura superficial del aire y precipitación en Centro América. La correlación entre las series de manchas solares y las variables climáticas mencionadas es pobre. No obstante, se observó una tendencia creciente en los datos durante el periodo considerado. Usando el análisis de Fourier se encontraron picos de frecuencia aproximadamente a los 11 años y 5 años. Esto sugiere que la actividad solar puede ser un factor que afecta las variables climáticas.
