Popis: The urban climate changes, caused by intense urban densities, result in loss life quality. Therefore, it becomes increasingly necessary to know the dynamics climatic of a given region in search of strategies to promote socio-environmental quality. The present work aimed to analyze the temporal space variations of the urban climate and the implications of water availability and NDVI in urban heat islands. For this purpose, we adopt as case study the municipality of Palmas - Tocantins. In a first moment, the climatological characterization of the study area through the climatological water balance proposed by Thornthwaite and Mather (1955) was carried out. Then the terrestrial surface temperature (LST) and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) were calculated by means of multispectral images of the LANDSAT7 and LANDSAT8 satellites and GIS software. From the climatic water balance, it was possible to verify indices characteristic of the tropical climate as well as the climatic dynamics of the region. We observed small surface heat islands diagnosed by means of satellite imagery in the urban environment with a magnitude of up to 15 ° Celsius in relation to the nearby rural areas, especially in the drier periods. We also confirmed the importance of green areas in the mitigation of land temperatures.
