Conference Paper Description

This study analyzed the trends of extreme rainfall events in Tinsukia district of Assam, India, for the period of 2001–2020. The trends were obtained using gridded daily rainfall data (Source: IMD). It was then converted into monthly and seasonal wise. Deciphering the extreme rainfall trend may help in indicative assessment of its impact on the lives of people. Extreme weather, such as heavy rainfall and high winds, can threaten people, property, and environment. In addition, changes in rainfall patterns can change water levels in the water bodies. It can also lead to loss of biodiversity due to aberration in rainfall events. Furthermore, hydrological disasters are frequent in the Tinsukia district due to heavy rainfall within a short period of time. Hence, it is important to study the rainfall trend in the study area and its possible relationship with flood impact variable. It has been observed that there is a likelihood that extreme rainfall may significantly influence the impact intensity of flood. The highest number of extreme rain events has been observed in June, followed by July and August.
