Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the thermo-hygrometric behavior in diverse urban landscapes. To carry it out, ten weather stations were designed and installed in different neighborhoods of the Bahia Blanca city (Argentina) during 408 days. One record of temperature and relative humidity was recorded every thirty minutes. Diverse statistical analysis was used to analyze the information. The study was carried out on different timescales: annual, seasonal, monthly, daily, day and night. The results allowed identifying different responses of the urban temperature and the humidity, allowing to explain the local climate. The site conditions and the roughness of the terrain were the most important elements to determine the behavior of these meteorological parameters.

El calor antrópico es una fuente artiicial de energía derivada de la utilización de materiales de calefacción, refrigeración, transporte, fábricas y aerosoles que contaminan el aire y afectan la insolación y el balance de calor urbano (Cuadrat & Pita, 2000)
Summary
Las ciudades generan cambios en la atmósfera local creando un clima que diiere de las condiciones naturales de su entorno. Las diferencias estructurales del espacio urbano a escala micro local modiican el comportamiento térmico y de la humedad relativa. Es por esta razón que la mayor parte de las ciudades del mundo presenta una diferencia térmica con su entorno rural (Kolokotsa et al, 2009). Los resultados permitieron establecer las diferencias climáticas a escala micro-local y estudiar la distribución espacial de la temperatura y la humedad relativa durante distintos eventos extremos tales como olas de calor, vientos del oeste, precipitaciones, etc. Esto permitió analizar la distribución espacial de la temperatura urbana y la humedad relativa y su el comportamiento anual, estacional, mensual, diario, diurno y nocturno en los distintos paisajes urbanos
