With respect to the rainfall data, a positive trend was observed for the city of Ponta Grossa,<br />

while for the other two cities, the results were not estatistically significant. For temperatures<br />

(maximum, average <strong>and</strong> minimum), significant trends were detected for all the cities, at least<br />

with 0.05% of significance. For the maximum temperature there was a positive trend for the<br />
