• Abstract: The objective was to analyze air temperature data (maximum, minimum, and average), relative humidity, precipitation, wind speed and wind direction using a Meteorological Station (EM). The EM is located at the Federal Rural University of Amazonia (UFRA), Main Campus, in the municipality of Belém, Pará (1° 27' 17" S, 48° 26' 7" W, 11 m). The time series used corresponded to the period from 01/01/2021 to 31/12/2024. The equipment used for data collection included: maximum thermometers (Incoterm 5167, Incoterm, Porto Alegre, Brazil), minimum thermometers (Incoterm 5169, Incoterm, Porto Alegre, Brazil), thermo-anemometer (TAD-500, Instrutherm, São Paulo, SP, Brazil), wind monitor (RM Young 05106, Marine Wind Monitor, RM Young, Traverse City, MI, USA), and rain gauge (IPL002, Ville de Paris, São Paulo, SP, Brazil). Possible differences in the meteorological variables were evaluated during the rainy period (December to May) and the less rainy period (June to November). Data analysis indicated significant differences (p < 0.05) for all the meteorological variables assessed, confirming the climatic pattern of Belém, with the rainiest period being the coldest and least windy, and the least rainy period being the hottest with higher wind intensity. Finally, in addition to its application for research purposes, the results of this study can be used for planning and conducting academic activities, as the data corroborate the literature, demonstrating the reliability of the data from the meteorological station – UFRA.
