Abstract

The Western of Sao Paulo State and the Northern of Parana State in Brazilare always seen as main regions for climatic studies. They are named transitionalclimate areas because they are affected by tropical atmospheric disturbancesor even influenced by extratropical atmospheric mechanisms. The coexistenceof hot and cold systems origins extreme climate events called hazards,which periodically provoke material damage and people’s death intthese areas. This article was produced based on our work “Hazards Analysisin the Western of Sao Paulo State and the Northern of Parana State” sear-ched in the Science and Technology Center of the Sao Paulo State University(UNESP) in Presidente Prudente. We intended to show to the reader physicalaspects of climate events that had happened in the cities Presidente Prudente,Maringa and Londrina. The analysis presented was developed based onthe Monteiro´s technique called rhythm analysis. We studied years which weconsidered humid (years 1997 – 1998) and another year (2001) classified asan habitual one. The work brings only the description of hazards: we do notmention statistics in order to show clearly the non-linear characteristics ofthe local where these events happened as we see that detailed description asone of the targets of the rhythm analysis skill.
