In Guayaquil there is dengue and it has an exposed population in an endemic – epidemic way, but there is little research on thehistorical trend of the factors that influence the behavior of dengue. The objective of this work is to relate environmental factorsand climate change in the behavior of Dengue in Guayaquil city during the period 2010-2014. A Non - experimental research ofa longitudinal type of trend was applied, analyzing the behavior of dengue with rainfall, temperature, humidity and winds perepidemiological weeks. The results with more cases were in the years 2010, 2012 and 2014; Showing variability in their behavior. Theenvironmental variables showed that the rainfall has little relation in the presence of cases, humidity findings above 70% with hightemperatures and few winds cause conditions to increase the transmission of the disease, but there are epidemiological periods wherethe transmission decreases and may be related to low average temperatures, relative humidity and presence of winds. At the sametime, it is relevant to observe the relationship between the increase in sea surface temperature and the increase in Dengue cases asobserved in the years of more cases.
