| Resumo: |  Using the information obtained for the various meteorological variables available from the conventional meteorological station located in the city of Manaus/AM, from 1961 to 2017, the city's climatological seasonal patterns were characterized. Seasonal variability and the possible influence of large-scale phenomena on them were evaluated, as well as the characterization of climatological aspects local. The meteorological variables evaluated were: temperature and relative humidity of the air, accumulated annual average precipitation, evaporation averages, hours of solar brightness and wind speed and direction patterns. Large-scale phenomena, such as ENOS (El Niño Oscilação Sul), were associated with the extremes of meteorological variables, mainly between the years of occurrence of El Niño that correlated with the hotter and drier years and those of La Niña that have been associated with colder and rainier years. The trend of increasing temperature averages was evident, with a consequent decrease in the average relative humidity of the air, probably resulting from the effect of urban growth in the city in recent years, causing maximum air temperature records and minimum relative humidity in the evaluated series. |
