Publishing in the Journal of Hydrometeorology, Rasmus Wuff proposes a new hydrometeorological metric to help track changes in precipitation as we change our climate, precipitation intensity duration index or PID. As the title implies, The World’s Largest Point Rainfall Found Using the Precipitation Intensity Duration Index reveals a rather eye-popping statistic: in 2007 over the course of just 4 days, Réunion Island s Cratère Commerson was drenched with just shy of 5 meters of rainfall- 4.936 meters to be precise. This particular event isn t attributable to climate change, but might be considered as currently known upper brackets on the range of rainfall possibilities. Expanding this range doesn t seem sensible.
