Abstract

This paper has the purpose of showing a didactic experience achieved in the discipline "3GEO 004 - Climatology", ministered to the students of the second year of the Geography Course. Through this practical activity we searched the correlations between climatics elements with the relief and, mainly, with the use of the land from the Campus of the State University of Londrina (UEL), aiming at the characterization and the perception of the microclimatic reality. Throughout detailed analysis of the temperature and the relative humidity of the air, direction and velocity of the winds and nebulosity, it was noticed that the temperatures developed according to the normal pattern of the daily march, in other words, in the morning were identified the smaller temperatures, the higher temperatures were noticed between 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm, showing a daily evolution inverse to the relative humidity of the air. And, it was still noticed the influence of the exposition of the slopes, the use of the land and the incidence of the winds on the development of a microclimatic environment.
