International Journal of Environment and Climate Change, 2023 By definition drought is a long period of deficient rainfall, especially one that badly affects growing or living conditions. Rainfall is believed to be a normal, wet and dry climate condition. It is one of the most important water-associated hazards.

Impact of extreme weather events on faecal sludge management based on standardized precipitation index in Dar es Salaam. [PDF]
Sci RepIn developing countries, climate variability poses significant challenges to urban water resource management and faecal sludge management, particularly in flood- and drought-prone areas. Inadequate consideration of climate variability in faecal sludge management planning has led to service disruptions in flood- and drought-prone urban areas. This study

JOIV : International Journal on Informatics VisualizationThe main objective of this study is to investigate the Standard Precipitation Index (SPI), a method commonly used to determine extreme rainfall occurrences. It is also used to gauge the severity and duration of drought in meteorological studies. To highlight exceptional extreme rainfall events in selected areas, a methodology for calculating the SPI ...

AtmosphereRainfall regimes are experiencing variations due to climate change, and these variations are adequately simulated by Earth System Models at a daily scale for most regions. However, there are not enough raw outputs to study extreme and sub-daily precipitation patterns on a local scale.

Journal of Water and Climate ChangeThe capabilities of 23 global climate models (GCMs) from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 were evaluated for six extreme precipitation indices from 1961 to 2010 using interannual variability and Taylor skill scores in the Yellow River ...

A new index to quantify the extremeness of precipitation across scales
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2022 Abstract. Quantifying the extremeness of heavy precipitation allows for the comparison of events. Conventional quantitative indices, however, typically neglect the spatial extent or the duration, while both are important to understand potential impacts. In 2014, the weather extremity index (WEI) was suggested to quantify the extremeness of an event and
