ISLANDS and AREAS of LIGHT – Infrastructure Development
Subject: Electricity – Lightning Protection
Island of Light of Brazil
Brazilian Ceraunic Map

Now look up on the isokeraunic map of Brazil where the site for the Island of Light is chosen, if you know.
So you can expect 'how much' lightning would you have (statistical of course) in that area.
