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.

You can not establish something without taking it into consideration!... It's not a joke, take it seriously!
