                         and maximum air temperatures in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. 
                         Data from 43 municipalities were analyzed, considering annual and 
                         seasonal scales - January, April, July, and October, which 
                         represent the middle months of summer, autumn, winter, and spring, 
                         respectively. Historical series of minimum and maximum daily air 
                         temperatures, from at least 30 year, were analyzed by the 
                         Mann-Kendall test and linear regressions. Trends were considered 
                         significant only if both evaluations were significant; in this 
                         case, the rates of temperature shift were determined. There was 
                         good agreement between the statistical tests for detecting trends 
                         in the historical series, for most municipalities. An increasing 
                         temperature trend of up to 1.5 degrees C per decade was observed 
                         for minimum temperatures in July, with generalized increasing 
                         trends in the greatest part of the state in January and October, 
                         and also in the annual scale. Exceptions were verified mainly in 
                         municipalities at higher altitudes, in which minimum air 
                         temperatures decreased in winter. There is a predominance of 
                         municipalities with significant increasing temperature trend, 
                         regardless of the evaluation scale. Increasing temperature trends 
                         are expected to be more common in the south to north direction, in 
                         the state of Minas Gerais.",
