Weather patterns recognition is very important to improve forecasting skills regarding severe storm conditions over a given area of the Earth. Severe weather can damage electric and telecommunication systems, besides generating material losses and even losses of life (Cooray et al., 2007; Lo Piparo, 2010; Santos et al., 2011). In especial for the electrical sector, is strategic to recognize weather patterns that may help predict weather caused damages. Severe weather forecast is crucial to reduce permanent damage to the systems equipments and outages in transmission or distribution lines.
