The relationship between climate elements' variability and its possible influences on life in big cities is one of the main ways to approach the understanding of impacts. Rainfall is, in the tropical world, a felt element in the daily life. Disorders can be triggered, particularly in metropolitan realities in Latin America' socio-spatial formation countries. Following this way, this dissertation, entitled Between events and episodes: the exceptionalities of rain and flooding in Rio de Janeiro' urban space aims to analyze the rain genesis that cause repercussion in the study area in question - floods are studied. Atmospheric elements' analysis were performed by its dynamics, (through rhythm analysis), with qualitative flooding identification in Rio de Janeiro using Geography of Climate as a way of approaching. Historical studies on the production of urban space, its dynamics and natural forms changes were made. In addition, spatial-temporal rainfall variability at different scales in detail was made to identify the atmospheric systems main generators of extreme rainfall. Thirdly, sites of flooding' occurrence were determined. An extreme events (days with rainfall above average) and extreme episodes (days with repercussion in urban space, no necessarily with intense rainfall) decomposition of its genesis was performed...
