Exposure to extreme precipitation — Annual precipitation change in G20, 1979–2023
Source: Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Measured in Millimetres per year.
Analysis
G20 recorded -44.27 Millimetres per year for exposure to extreme precipitation — annual precipitation change in 2023. That is the lowest value across all 45 years on record.
That represents a change of down 5,399.5% on the previous year and down 915.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, exposure to extreme precipitation — annual precipitation change in G20 peaked at 27.8 Millimetres per year in 1998 and was at its lowest, -44.27 Millimetres per year, in 2023.
G20 ranks 412th of 698 groups on this measure, in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
The dataset provides a global assessment of changes in average precipitation by providing the precipitation anomaly and provides a global assessment of extreme precipitation through the use of two precipitation indices, i.e. very heavy precipitation days and frequency of extreme precipitation events. Exposure indicators to extreme precipitation have been prepared jointly by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the International Energy Agency (IEA). Please see the working paper for a more complete description of the methods. The datasets span the period 1979-2022, depending on data availability and are the result of the use of a variety of geospatial data sources as referenced in the Working Paper. The dataset has a global coverage on a national level; on the sub-national TL2 level (i.e. large subnational regions) results are reported for all OECD countries as well as for Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia and South Africa. A number of aggregates are included: Euro area, European Union, Advanced economies, Emerging market economies, G7, G20, OECD, OECD Europe, OECD Asia Oceania, OECD Americas and the LAC region.
