Distribution of extreme climatic events
Across the 18 years we identified a total of 2,724 monthly SPEI-03

events. Outside normal periods, 36% were wet events, among which 20%
were extreme and 16% were moderate wet events. The dry events
represented 24%, among which 11% were extreme and 13% were moderate
dry events (Figure S1).
