             abstract = "The relationships of strong winds and heavy rainfall in Sao Paulo 
                         State, Brazil, was investigated. Wind data from Project 
                         Elektro/Climatico collected by thirteen Platforms of Data 
                         Collection were used. The results showed that in the west sector 
                         the occurrence of strong winds was higher in the center and south 
                         areas and decreased northwards. In the central sector the 
                         occurrence of strong wind episodes was higher southwards while in 
                         the litoral it was lower due to probably the lack of wind data 
                         collected during the austral summer. In Teodoro Sampaio, 
                         Andradina, Santa Rita d'Oeste, Votuporanga (west), Rio Claro, 
                         Tatui (central) and Ubatuba (litoral) 15, 18, 28, 12, 11, 7 and 3 
                         extreme events occurred, respectively (maximum wind higher than 20 
                         ms-1 together with rainfall higher than 25 mm day-1). A case study 
                         of an episode of extreme event which occurred in Andradina on 15 
                         October 2009 was examined. Heavy rainfall accompanied with high 
                         winds and strong divergence at 200 hPa and ascending motion were 
                         observed in the region due to intense convection along a cold 
                         front that moved fast over Sao Paulo State. The identification of 
                         regions with strong winds and their relation with heavy 
                         precipitation must drive electrical energy generation and 
                         distribution what is important nowadays. So, the main importance 
                         of this research is its applicability to the energy sector.",
