An increase in widespread extreme precipitation events during the northeast monsoon season over south peninsular India.

ABSTRACT: While the spatio-temporal characteristics of Indian summer monsoon precipitation and its extreme spells have been extensively studied, the northeast monsoon, which occurs from October to December (i.e., post-monsoon season) and affects the southern peninsula of India, has not received as much attention. In light of this, the present study explores the spatio-temporal characteristics of precipitation during the northeast monsoon, with a particular emphasis on widespread extreme precipitation events and their associated large-scale synoptic systems, using recent ensemble of high-resolution regional climate models (RCMs) simulations and the Indian monsoon data assimilation and analysis (IMDAA) reanalysis. The study reveals that both models tend to underestimate the intensity and frequency of
