http://dx.doi.org/10.5902/2236130814154 The aim of this study was to investigate evidence of the heat island in mid-sized city in the interior of Mato Grosso, Brazil. For this we adopted the methodology of mobile transect for daily measurements of temperature and relative humidity at three times during episodes of the rainy season of 2013. Results showed that the central region of the city, had over heated and dry compared the periphery. We conclude that the use of different soil within the city limits contributed to this finding.
