The moisture of combustible material is an important factor in the knowledge of fire behavior. Therefore, this work aims to estimate the moisture content of fuel material by modeling meteorological variables in a Cerrado area located in the city of Gurupi, southern Tocantins state. Field meteorological data were obtained through a mini-station, which provided relative humidity, temperature and wind speed, remaining on during the entire experiment period, which occurred during 7 months, with a total of 10 collections, on sporadic days. The combustible material was collected every 5 minutes in a plastic container and weighed on a 0.01g scale and then stored in ID paper bags. The samples were dried in greenhouses for 72 hours at room temperature of 75 °C, and again weighed to obtain dry material weight.
