The objective of the research is to analyze the pattern of climate variability and the dynamic of DHF cases in Surabaya. The research uses the design of ecological study with hypothesis, testing, modeling, simulation and intervention. Respondent of 365 household were interviewed to explore their knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) and mobility  regarding DHF using standard questionnaire. Precipitation, humidity and Co2 concentration were determined per week man landing Rate and Resting Habit were determined for Aedes aegypti  population density. The results show that , there is a relationship between climate and DHF cases all are relationship by precipitation (0.000), Temperature ambient (0.000), indoor humidity (0.002), outdoor humidity (0.001). Resting habit (0.000), Knowledge (0.007). The most relationship between climate and DHF cases are precipitation, temperature, humidity and the low level of the community knowledge.  Aedes aegyptiman landing Rate can be used indicator of increased cases of DHF.

Key words : climate change, Aedes aegypti, the dynamic DHF cases
