Abstract
The banana tree is a plant characteristic of the tropical region, demanding in temperatures and rainfall with good regional distribution, due to its low cost and high nutritional value, it is an integral part of the diet of populations. The objective is to analyze the climatic oscillations, from the calculation of the water balance and its climatic classification, according to the methods of Thorn Thwaite and Köppen, for the city of Recife, verifying the occurrence of the aptitude of the banana cultivar. The average rainfall and temperature data were acquired from the National Institute of Meteorology, for the period between 1962 and 2016. Banana plantations are moderate because they have a water deficit of 287.4 mm. The evaporative power registered in the municipal area is high, but the demand for irrigation complements the scarcity of water to cultivate it. The local altitude is in the range of planting of the cultivar as well as the variability of the relative humidity of the air. Wind is one of the limiting factors for commercial exploitation of banana cultivation, if the cultivars are tall and planted in sandy soils.
