Аnnotation: A statistical analysis of the results of monitoring of indoor radon and meteorological parameters (atmospheric pressure, air temperature and humidity) on 3 stationary geophysical stations in Azerbaijan (Sheki, Shamakhyi and Kurdamir) from April 1, 2016 to September 30, 2017 is given. The database included 13 152 of measurements of studied parameters with an interval of one hour. Short-term (intra-day) and medium-term (intra-annual) changes in parameters and the correlative relationship between them are considered. Radon fluctuations in general at different stations are ambiguous, which is explained by the difference in the geological conditions of their location and building structures. Statistical analysis of the data set over the entire observation period showed a weak correlative relationship between radon and climatic parameters. However, according to the average monthly values for 2017, all three stations show a positive relationship between the change in the radon level and the humidity of the air during the year. In the rooms of the Shamakhy and Sheki stations increase in radon concentration is accompanied by decrease in atmospheric pressure and increase in air temperature.
