Comportamiento de los días con lluvias intensas en la provincia de Ciego de Ávilo en el período lluvioso y su relación con los procesos sinópticos objetivos

This work shows the annual, monthly and decennial behaviour of the days with local intense rains (accumulated precipitation equal to or greater than 100 mm in 24 hours) in the province of Ciego de Avila, Cuba, and a special regionalization of this hydrometeorological variable. To identify criteria that help to predict this variable, the relationship between the days with intense rainfall and the synoptic patterns under which they occur during the months of the rainy period (May-October), is determined. This result allows characteristization of the days when there is heavy rainfall due to specific synoptic patterns in the province of Ciego de Avila. This facilitates the prediction of intense rainfall and so mitigation of the damage produced by this phenomenon. Damage.
