Meteorological surveillance in face of the danger of severe local storms in the eastern region

Abstract

The objective of the research is to determine the behavior of Severe Local Storms in the eastern region from 1980 to 2022. From the review of the meteorological notes prepared by the Provincial Meteorological Centers, a table of reports was created, where graphs of the distribution by years, months and severity events were processed and constructed. Holguín province stands out as the one with the highest number of reports, highlighting the months of July and May; hail and aeroavalanches are the manifestations with the highest incidence. The results contribute to the efficiency of their forecast and consequently to mitigating the possible damage they cause, being of great value for the application of preventive measures aimed at reducing the risk and damage caused by these natural disasters, providing an effective tool for the increase in the effectiveness of the Meteorological Surveillance Systems provided in the easternmost region of the country.
