Characteristics of extreme rainfall events. (a) Contribution of the events of different sizes to the total number of grids having extreme rainfall events (N_T) during the pre-84 (1952–1983) and post-83 (1984–2015) period. Based on the size, different types of events are defined as small (size 1), medium (size 2–5) and large (size ≥ 6) Extreme Rainfall Events (EREs). (b) Spatial distribution of large EREs. (c) Cumulative distribution function (CDF) of relative rainfall intensity of EREs. (d) Year-wise count of the extreme rainfall events of various sizes. The CDFs are significantly different from each other at the 99% confidence level (using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test). The inset box in Fig. 2b indicates the study region (Central India: 15°–25°N, 75°–85°E).
