Abstract

Climate change entails detrimental effects to the environment that include the change of warm to humid temperature, floods, drought, land slide disaster and also leads to the alteration of gases at the atmosphere. Such alarming impacts give rise to the adverse effects on the status of human health which in turn intensifies mortality rate, natural disaster and disease spread. This study aims to assess the variation of environmental temperature, humidity, rainfall and wind speed during the year 2006 in three dengue fever endemic areas in South Sulawesi province that includes Makassar Municipality, Maros and Gowa Regency. Results of this study revealed that the highest rate of rainfall was 27.7 0C
