It was observed that the average temperatures of Viçosa, Southeastern Region of Brazil and Minas Gerais present fort correlation and by means of test t student statistical showed significant the levels of significance of 10%, 5% and 1%, and that the positive shunting lines of the minimum temperatures are influenced by the saturation and vapor pressures. In such a way one concluded that the climatic standards presented by Viçosa are related the systems of regional atmospheric circulation and with the fisiography of the city, being that the occured urbanization in the city does not present great capacity to modify the climatic standards.
