abstract = "The State of S{\~a}o Paulo in Southeast Brazil experienced during
the 2012/2013 summer one of the most severe electrical storm
events in recent years, causing various impacts to society, e.g.
fires and fatalities. Thus, the objective of this work is to
understand which mechanisms and climatic variability modes are
associated with the lightning incidence during this summer in this
region. The study includes a statistical-temporal assessment of
cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning occurrence comprising the 16 years
period from 1999 to 2014. The results showed that, for this period
of analysis, the lightning incidence was associated with climatic
patterns connecting the tropical and extratropical region, through
a wave train, from the Indian Ocean to South America, favouring
the formation and development of convective storms over Southeast
Brazil.",
