Favorable environments for severe convective storms were assessed over four regions in Brazil, highlighting significant regional variations.
The West-Central region exhibited over 90 hours of intense gust environments annually, suggesting a high frequency of severe weather events.
Analysis utilized ERA5 reanalysis data from 1980 to 2021, and hourly measurements from the Brazilian National Meteorological Institute for validation.
Seasonal peaks occurred primarily in the warm season, indicating thermodynamic instability's role in influencing severe convective gust climatology.
