A precipitação pluvial é um dos elementos meteorológicos que apresenta maior variabilidade tanto em quantidade quanto em distribuição mensal e anual de uma região para outra. O estudo do comportamento temporal da distribuição e probabilidade das chuvas constitui um fator de grande relevância para a compreensão dos sistemas que determinam os regimes hídricos de regiões semiáridas. Nesse contexto, objetivou-se com este estudo, caracterizar a precipitação pluvial para o município de Barreiras-BA. Foi utilizada uma série histórica de precipitação pluvial, referente ao período de 1959 a 2008 (49 anos). Os dados foram provenientes da rede de estações convencionais do Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia (INMET). Na distribuição empírica as probabilidades com que serão igualadas ou superadas às precipitações pluviais foram calculadas pelo método Kimball. Esperam-se chuvas acima de 100 mm nos meses de novembro e dezembro com probabilidade superior a 80%. Para a precipitação total anual há uma maior probabilidade de precipitações inferiores a 1000 mm (probabilidade > 50%). O Estudo aponta a ocorrência de precipitações superiores à média histórica a cada 4 anos. Não foi evidenciado indícios de decréscimo de chuvas para Barreiras-BA nos últimos 49 anos.

Rainfall is one of the weather parameters that has the highest variability in both quantity and distribution of monthly and annual from one region to another. The study of the temporal distribution and probability of rainfall is a factor of great importance for understanding the systems that determine water regimes in semi-arid regions. In this context, the objective of this study was to characterize the rainfall for Barreiras, state of Bahia, Brazil. It was used a historical series of rainfall for the period 1959 to 2008 (49 years). The data were derived from the conventional network stations from the National Institute of Meteorology (INMET). In the probabilities empirical distribution that will be equaled or exceeded the rainfall were calculated by the method Kimball. More than 100 mm rainfall during the months of November and December are expected with a probability greater than 80%. For the total annual rainfall there is a larger probability of precipitations below 1000 mm (probability > 50%) This study shows the occurrence of precipitation above the historical average every four years. No evidence was shown to decrease rainfall for Barreiras in recent 49 years.
