Daily Rainfall In India Shows No Increase In Extremes
November 13, 2022
By Paul Homewood
I looked at monsoon rainfall in India the other day, to see if there was any evidence of rainfall becoming more extreme.
In this post I will be looking at daily rainfall extremes, using the charts from KNMI:
I have selected a reasonable geographical mix of stations, which cover most parts of India. There is no evidence of daily rainfall becoming more extreme, as climate scientists keep arguing should be happening.

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
Paul, as usual you continue to show how easy it is to disprove their claims.
Yet virtually nobody apart from GBNews in MSM questions it at all.
Have you ever wondered why no MSM or BBC journalist has ever looked at weather records like Paul Homewood? Ah, yes, of course – it would blow their promotion of the climate crisis right out of the water, and then two things would happen: 1. they would be out of step with every other journalist (and politician!) and 2. they would miss out on all those lucrative trips around the world to highlight the latest “disaster”!
Look at Pakistan (courtesy of Paul H!) The idea that 1/3 of the land was flooded came from a local politician, and it was the first time ever that journalists took the word of a politician as true, without challenging it and disbelieving it as a matter of honour! Paul, please keep up the good work!
The Pakistan claim of “1/3 of the country under water” was challenged by BBC programme More or Less on the 7th Sept 2022. Still available on BBC Sounds. Its conclusion was approx 10%-12% of area in reality…..However I still hear BBC journalists and others repeating the 1/3 of the country was under water!! To be fair to the politician she was quoting the areas of pakistan declaring a flood emergency. As usual totally lazy journalism

Thanks again Paul.
Trouble is these days is that if I show this to one or two of my offspring I would get put on the naughty step until I apologised.
Is this a foretaste of an impending Communist State?
“Corporate Socialist” I think you’ll find.
Which was of course Mussolini’s favoured description of Fascism.
As a hardcore socialist and editor of a Marxist newsletter before he metamorphosized into a ruthless fascist dictator Benito Mussolini had some expertise in such philosophical musings ……..Fidel Castro was quite the fanboy and one can see his gesticulations and ranting speeches seemed stylized on Mussolini’s
No Climate Signature since the 1850s in Summer rainfall. Its been just random. More rain or less rain, it is not impacting our agriculture. High rainfall does impact our cities which have poor drainage compared to cities in EU/N.America. We have a problem with infrastructure, not climate. Thats why we are increasing coal production.
Good to see you posting here and keeping tabs. Keep up the excellent work you do!
The AR6 stated situation in India has been summarised thus, “For example, “there is a significant increase in heavy rainfall” in central India during the South Asian monsoon season, the report says, which has occurred alongside “a significant decrease in moderate rainfall”. Which suggests unchanged seasonal total but a shift in the within-season distribution towards greater concentration at the high daily rainfall end. I’m not aware of anyone constructing a statistical test on this specific point – it should be possible to do so.
