Portuguese term

temperaturas próximas

Portuguese to English Tech/Engineering Geography variable base temperatures
What's the best option?

The context talks about temperatures that are not far apart:

"Essa variação, em temperaturas próximas, pode ser atribuída à..."

I specifically want to get away from the idea of slightly different temperatures at nearby LOCATIONS. The temperatures are not far apart IN THE SCALE, that's all. Nothing to do with places.

nearby temperatures?
not far apart temperatures?
neighboring temperatures?

How would YOU translate it?

I used a thesaurus to look at all the possibilities, and these are the two that sound most natural to me (American from the midwest). No scientific reason, just the flow in tihe language.

All thee selections you made sound strage - more in line with place than a comparison of temperatures. I don\'t mean to offend you when I say that. I am just being honest - honest to my ears, at least.

agree Todd Field : "comparable" sounds the smoothest from the perspective of a native Enlglish speaker (or to me, anyway!)

To me, personally, "comparable" or "similar" sound more natural in this context. It's just my personal opinion. I don't mean to offend anyone. It may be a matter of personal pleasure. At least among most Americans, I would expect this probably to be true
