One of the most dangerous
meteorological phenomena in Cuba for humans, are tornadoes that occur in
eventual form in any month of the year. Since 1970 seven tornadoes have
occurred classified as F3 and F4 in Fujita-Pearson scale. The most intense
tornadoes that in the last thirty years occurred in Cuba are analyzed in this
paper and also two cases study are presented to find synoptic and mesoescale
patterns that help to improve future forecasting. Characteristics of
mesoescale and synoptic processes related to the occurrence of intense
tornadoes in Cuba are studied. And two different tornadogenesis types were
established.
