The study of induced lightnings are of great relevance because with the increasing of vertical cities, there may be a corresponding increase of upward lightning started from a tall structure connected to the ground toward cloud. Then, risks associated with these discharges should also be considered for the protection of persons and property. In this context, the objective of this study is to determine the characteristics of storms that generate upward lighting. From the data collected in 2012 until 2016, it could be recorded 140 upward leaders that started from one of the towers located on Pico do Jaraguá, in São Paulo with the aid of a few ultra-fast cameras. For analysis of these discharges and corresponding storms, satellite imagery were collected and images of electromagnetic sources of lightning measured by SPLMA and LINET from January to march in 2012 and after by BrasilDAT and STARNET until june 2016 were generated. Besides that, images of reflectivity data from radar São Roque, FCTH and IACIT (CAPPI product) in the period of January and march 2012 that measured precipitation during the experiment CHUVA-GLM Vale do Paraíba, from the radar São Roque (CAPPI product) from april 2012 to march 2015 and from radar FCTH (PPI product) from january 2014 to june 2016 were plotted. Based on analyzes of the horizontal structure and on the signature of the radar bright band, most of the precipitation could be categorized as stratiform, with reflectivity lower than 40 dBZ.
