• Description:
  We explore the characteristics of 96,190 wet events (WEs) defined as consecu- tive 3-hourly rainfall ≥1 mm/3 hr from a network of 34 stations across Bangladesh. Nearly 60% (5%) of WEs last ≤3(≥15) hr. The WEs are dynami- cally clustered into four “canonical ”storm types (STs), mostly discretized by their duration, but also their mean and maximal intensity. While durations, total amounts and wet contiguous areas of WEs are positively related, their
