Heavy precipitation events are abnormal amounts of rainfall over a short period of time. Heavy precipitation events are hazardous events that can, for example, damage crops and drive both landslides and pluvial floods. This indicator shows the number of heavy precipitation days over the past 7 years for a grid cell.
