We compared and analyzed daily temperatures both at Coronel Dorrego and Faro observatories, 20km distant stations. They were studied because are important in this region to olive production, it was conducted thermometric data processing and analyzed for application agroclimatic in olive cultivation. The frequency of frost as the period of frost is higher in the town of Faro, the variability of spring frosts and annual rigor makes that date represents a major risk factor for the success of an olive grove in our region. It was demonstrated the temporal and spatial variability between the two stations. Analysis of the temperature it is concluded that the area of Coronel Dorrego is more suitable for olive cultivation compared to the Faro. These differences between areas as close as Faro and Coronel Dorrego, evidence the need for a mesoclimático type analysis, and the analysis of local agro-climatic differences
