摘要:The occurrences of dry spells are becoming frequent nowadays, in the context of global climate change. Thus, the key objective of this study was to analyze the variability of precipitation and the probability of occurrence of dry spell in the Center-Western Mesoregion of Paraná State, Brazil. As a specific objective, was to analyzed the occurrence extreme dry spell occurrences during September 2020 of the year 2020. For this, maps were used to regionalize the pluviometric heights. Box plot plots and probabilities were created to study regional precipitation behaviour. The annual precipitation in the Mesoregion showed an appropriated annual and monthly distribution, showing positive extract from the CLIMWB. However, the Mesoregion exhibits a significant variability, with months over 500 mm between the rainiest and driest months. The occurrence of dry spell also showed significant values. In August, were verified 60 % probability of dry spell. Reflection of this significant variability occurred in 2020, which with a series of data older than 40 years, showed the driest month in history, much attributed to the current atmospheric circulation with blocks caused by the intense mass of hot air, linked to the recent fires occurrences on the Brazilian Pantanal and Amazon.
