The characteristics of the climate, its cyclical changes and unexpected variations have harmful effects on society. This book addresses current questions about the implications of climate for the genesis and potentialisation of illnesses in the city of Cáceres, in the state of Mato Grosso. The data presented here results from the synthesis of a course completion project in Geography (UNEMAT). The main aim of the book is to discuss variations in atmospheric weather as elements that cause or aggravate various symptoms, illnesses and changes in the clinical picture of health, which is the result of the human organism's reactions and vulnerabilities to climatic conditions and atmospheric changes. In this way, improving knowledge about the climate and its variations and effects on geographical space, and the possible risks/threats they pose to the population, are relevant perspectives discussed in this book. The data presented should subsidise and guide urban planning and environmental management.
