Existe uma grande preocupacao de pesquisadores em analisar as variabilidades climaticas que estao acontecendo no planeta, enfatizando-se a deteccao de tendencias em series de observacoes meteorologicas. O intuito deste trabalho foi analisar, utilizando o teste de Mann-Kendall, as tendencias nas series pluviometricas e nas series de temperatura maxima das oito macrorregioes cearenses: Regiao Metropolitana de Fortaleza (RMF), Regiao do Litoral Oeste, Regiao de Sobral/Ibiapaba, Regiao do Macico de Baturite, Regiao do Sertao dos Inhamuns, Regiao do Sertao Central, Regiao do Litoral Leste/Jaguaribe e Regiao do Cariri/Centro Sul. Os resultados mostraram que ha uma tendencia de diminuicao de chuvas no estado do Ceara, tendo atencao especial para Noroeste e Centro-sul do Estado. A temperatura maxima apresentou tendencia de aumento em todas as regioes do estado.

The purpose of this study was to analyze, using the Mann-Kendall test, trends in rainfall series and the maximum temperature series in the eight geographical regions: Metropolitan Region of Fortaleza (RMF), the West Coast Region, Region Sobral/Ibiapaba, the Baturite Region, Region Sertao of Inhamuns, Sertao Central Region, East Coast Region/Jaguaribe and Cariri /South Center Region. It was concluded that there is a trend of declining rainfall in the state of Ceara, with special attention to the Northwest and South Central region of State. The maximum temperature tended to increase in all regions of the state. Keywords: Mann-Kendall test, Rainfall, Maximum temperature, Climate trends.
