                         we applied the Fuzzy Logical Method in order to have a mechanism 
                         of warning for the precipitation above the climatological average 
                         due to the SACZ (classifed as oceanic, coastal or Amazon) over the 
                         Southern Amazon region, during the months from November to March 
                         in the period from 1999 to 2010. An objective algorithm to 
                         identify the occurrence of SACZ is designed and the classifcation 
                         in linguistic terms allows categorizing the SACZ in different 
                         types. During the periods of SACZ, the possibility of daily heavy 
                         rains (> 20 mm) is twice greater than the climatology. Amazonian 
                         and coastal SACZ produce nearly 71.4% of the precipitation during 
                         the months from January to March, representing 64% of the active 
                         events in Southern Amazon.",
