The present research analyzed a series of meteorological data of pluviometric precipitation and temperature from 1973 to 2012, referring to the meteorological station of Tracuateua, obtained from the National Institute of Meteorology. With the analysis of the data it was possible to verify that there are two well-defined periods of precipitation, a rainier period (January to June), in which precipitation is more intense in the months of march, april and may, and another less rainy (July to December), in which the drought is greater in the months of september, october and november. In addition, it was possible to identify that the year 1985 was the rainiest year, associated with the La Niña event, and the year 2010 the least rainy, linked to the El Niño event. Thus, the identification of events associated with precipitation through the use of meteorological data will allow a better understanding of the processes involved in them, and may even assist in the decision-making of relevant public policies.
