The objective of this research was to evaluate the influence of climaticvariables of air temperature and rainfall on the occurrence of Chikungunyafever (CHIKF). The study was conducted from 2016 to 2018, with applicationarea in the municipality of Belém (PA). The variables were analyzedbased on descriptive statistics from which mean, standard deviation,coefficient of variation, median, minimum and maximum were determined.Normality tests were performed to define by using the parametric ornonparametric correlation tests. For the variables that presented statisticalsignificance, the multiple linear regression analysis was performed.Seasonality was confirmed with higher CHIKF records in the first half of theyear, when the highest rainfall and mildest temperatures in the region arerecorded. Pearson’s correlation identified an association between CHIKFoccurrences and temperature and precipitation variables in 2016, whichpresented respectively positive and weak association and negative and weakassociation. In Belém, local climatic characteristics favor the maintenance ofChikungunya fever, however in the study of arboviruses other factors such associal and environmental factors should be considered.
