About this Dataset

Precipitation - Local Areas

This dataset provides trends on total precipitation and extreme precipitation days in OECD Local Areas.

Total precipitation is the sum of all liquid and frozen water—such as rain and snow—that reaches the Earth's surface each year. It excludes fog, dew, and any precipitation that evaporates before reaching the ground. Extreme precipitation days are defined as days with more than 20 mm of total precipitation. Changes in total precipitation and extreme precipitation days are reported relative to the 1981–2010 baseline average. All values are given in millimetres (mm).

The data is organized at Territorial Level 2 (TL2). To visualize the data at Local Area level, click on the corresponding TL2 indicator.
