around 2493 mm. In its best scenario, the annual total in 2052 and 2100 was around 1776 mm
and 1882 mm, respectively. For the city of Lapa, where the annual historical average total was
1651 mm, in the worst simulated scenario, the annual total for 2052 was 1932 mm, while in the
year of 2100, it approached 2246 mm. In the best scenario, the annual total in 2052 and 2100
approached, 1911 mm and 1955 mm, respectively.

Given the fact that the region of Campos Gerais of Parana is located in a climatic zone,
dominated in some places by the subtropical climate (Cfa) and others by temperate climate
