Precipitation variability

Which climate risk platform is right for your business?

Definition

Precipitation variability refers to changes in the timing, frequency, or intensity of rainfall patterns over time. It includes both wetter and drier periods.

Example in context

A utility company reviews precipitation variability to plan for water availability and infrastructure stress under different future scenarios.

Why it matters

More variable precipitation can increase the risk of both drought and flooding. Understanding variability helps inform long-term infrastructure and water resource planning.
