                         dynamic. Since the classic period to study climate is thirty 
                         years, some areas face difficulties due to the lack of broad data 
                         record. Thus, one solution to this situation is the employment of 
                         reanalysis, like the Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for 
                         Research and Applications, Version 2, known as MERRA-2. 
                         Considering that the city of Itaja{\'{\i}}, located in Santa 
                         Catarina, south of Brazil, has one automatic weather station with 
                         data since 2010, this study aimed to, statistically, evaluate 
                         MERRA-2s data to fill the twenty-year gap in climate records for 
                         this location, regarding temperature, by analysing daily 
                         temperature records from 2010 to 2020, through basic statistic 
                         tests and other tests like Anderson-Darling normality test, paired 
                         t-test, Mann-Whiney, Pearson correlation, Spearman correlation, 
                         bias and polynomial regression analysis with Fitted Line Plot, all 
                         on Minitab® 18. The comparison was between observed data from 
                         A868-Itaja{\'{\i}} automatic weather station and MERRA-2s data. 
                         As a result, it was reached that none of the data is normally 
                         distributed, all the means and medians are different from each 
                         other, however, the observed data and the MERRA-2s data are highly 
                         correlated. That said, this research provides substantial 
                         information to reassure the use of reanalysis data to fill the 
                         gaps due to the lack of observed temperature data in order to have 
                         a broad study when trying to comprehend a local environment.",
