Uso do solo e variações de temperatura e umidade relativa do ar em trechos das áreas urbanas de Belo Horizonte, Contagem e Vespasiano (MG)

Abstract

The purpose of this article was to analyze the influence of urban and topographic factors, under different weather conditions, on variations in temperature and relative humidity in Belo Horizonte, Contagem and Vespasiano (central-east of Minas Gerais - Brazil). The data were produced continuously and simultaneously in the three municipalities in different locational situations, with automatic recorders at 60-minute intervals, during the time segment between 06/27 to 08/6/2020. The analysis considered the relationship of the measured data with the relief characteristics, land use and meteorological weather conditions. The results showed a different degree of commitment to natural and man-made factors, in response to the characteristics of production, transit and conservation of heat and humidity in each environment.
