Trends in mesoscale convective system (MCS) (a) exceedance frequency of the 95th percentile hourly rain-rate, (b) the actual 95th percentile hourly rain-rate, (c) probability density function (PDF) of hourly rain-rates from stations with a significant (Sig.) exceedance frequency trend, and (d) PDF of hourly rain-rates from stations with a significant rain-rate trend. The trends are obtained using individual hourly rain gauge data (see the text for more details). Circle and diamond symbols in a and b show trends that are statistically significant at 95% and 90% with a two-tailed Student t-test, respectively. PDFs in c and d are constructed using data from all stations with 90% statistically significant trends.
