Metropolitan Region Vitória (MRV), located in Brazil, in the Espírito Santo state, is a relevant local to discuss Urban Heat Island (UHI) due to its tropical climate. In this study, the heat island in MRV was evaluated between March 2017 and January 2018 period. The hourly database of air temperature used in analyzis and discussion was obtained from five weather stations of INMET, IEMA and INFRAERO. Results show the heat island formation all over the evaluated period. Hourly intensities of UHI for MRV have frequency distribution close to Gaussian with the highest interval occurrence (~ 50%) between 0 °C and 2 °C; 91.4% of UHI values to MRV are between 0 °C and 4 °C, indicating the highest occurrence of weak and moderate intensities, 0.3% of the period have strong (4 - 6 °C) and very strong (6 - 8 °C) UHI. In this study, it was possible to verify that UHI events at MRV are higher over the day hours than in the night, and, during spring and summer seasons, being associated with high environment thermal charge at both hourly and season scale. The study area shows cool island events in 8.3% of the cases that happened when the rural area was warmer than the urban sites. The higher frequency of cool island event was observed between 7 and 9 am, in January and July; they were always associated with cloudiness atmospheric systems, provided by the action of cold front, ZCOU and ZCAS episodes.
