M<strong>an</strong>y attempts have been made to connect climatic ch<strong>an</strong>ges with variation in solar activity<br />

parameters, which has showed increased levels at the present compared with the Maun<strong>der</strong><br />

Minimum period. In this study we investigate the possible effects of solar activity (Rz <strong>an</strong>d<br />

Rz22) on the surface air temperature (1912 to 2008) from S<strong>an</strong>ta Maria (29°41'S, 53°48'W),<br />

Southern Brazil. Classical spectral <strong>an</strong>alysis for temperature has shown signific<strong>an</strong>t periods of<br />

11.8, 19.1 <strong>an</strong>d 64.3. Cross-wavelet between Rz (11yr) <strong>an</strong>d temperature was signific<strong>an</strong>t in the<br />

11 year signal after 1935, but it was weak around 1970–1980. Furthermore, it was also<br />

observed a high <strong>an</strong>d continuous cross correlation between temperature <strong>an</strong>d Rz22 (22yr) for the<br />

<strong>an</strong>alyzed period. The linear correlation between <strong>an</strong>nual temperature <strong>an</strong>d solar activity was r <<br />

-0.10 for Rz <strong>an</strong>d r = -0.19 for Rz22. These results suggest that, regarding the temperature<br />

variability, minor th<strong>an</strong> 10% c<strong>an</strong> be associated with a linear dependency to 11 year solar cycle<br />

<strong>an</strong>d around 19% to 22 year magnetic cycle. Therefore, it is possible that the effect of Hale<br />

cycle on climate may be stronger th<strong>an</strong> the Schwabe cycle effect.
