The Peruvian coast has experienced significant fluctuations in air temperatures, reflecting a remarkable climatic variability in the region. Therefore, the present study aims to analyze the temporal and spatial variability of the maximum and minimum air temperature on the Peruvian coast and its relationship with the modulators of sea surface temperature and zonal - meridional wind at 10 meters from the surface for the period 1981 - 2016. For the analysis of the spatial and temporal variability of the selected variables, data preparations were performed, including the elimination of seasonality, trend and normalization of the selected variables in 3 study zones. Subsequently, the Empirical Orthogonal Functions technique was applied, obtaining the first principal components and the EOFs as correlation for the described variables. Based on the behavior of its time series as well as its spatial distribution, the results revealed that the first two modes of SST variability represented El Niño Canonical and El Niño Modoki respectively. Similarly, it was found that the first 3 modes of meridional wind variability represented the Eastern South Pacific Anticyclone (ESPA), the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and extreme events, as well as the first mode of zonal wind variability represented the ESPA. Regarding air temperature, its first mode presented an interannual behavior influenced by geography and seasonality. The Pearson correlation analysis between minimum air temperature and coastal SST showed positive correlations, indicating a clear local influence of SST throughout the year. In addition, the positive correlation between maximum air temperature and sea surface temperature in the equatorial zone during summer suggests a strong influence of latent heat transfer from the ocean to the atmosphere. Finally, the positive correlation between the first mode of temperature with the third mode of meridional wind variability is related to upwelling processes affecting air temperature in the region.
