Extreme rainfall events – Brahmaputra

No specific trend of change in the amount of rainfall has been observed between the baseline period of 1951–1980 and 1981–2007. Extreme rainfall appears to be decreasing in the north, but increasing over eastern portions of the basin. Rainfall intensity (mm/day) has increased slightly over eastern portions of the basin.
