Objetives: The investigation had as aim characterize the frequency and intensity of rainfalls storm from images obtained of the satellite GOES-12 and information registered in the Meteorological Station of Huancayo Observatory, during the hydrological cycles comprising from July, 2012 to June, 2014. Methods: The method of the hidroestimador was in use that georreferencia the point and the intensity by means of the empirical exponential relation between the rainfall estimated by radar and the temperature of sheen of the ceiling of the clouds from the infrared channel that produces rates of real time rainfall and the method of intensity of rainfall that evaluates the index of intensity in millimeters per hour nevertheless, due to the fact that the information that is registered in the pluviometer takes biases as contour effects, took as resource the analysis of storms in 120 minutes with maximum rain in 12 hours. Results: As a result precipitations are characterized by light (11 events), moderate (8 events), strong (3 events) and extreme (5 events) from the analysis of the physical station data and maps of rainfall intensities coupled time-space two extremes were built also the connection points between rainfall, temperature and atmospheric pressure as well as satellite images of the development of extreme storms is presented. Conclusions: There were identified the points and the area of impact of the rainfalls from the method of the hidroestimador and his correlation with the information of rainfall of the Meteorological Station of Huancayo Observatory.
