Short summary
The impact of heavy rainfall is determined not only by the total amount of precipitation, but also by its spatial and temporal characteristics. We develop a statistical framework that extracts key event characteristics, including their time, length and speed from radar-based observations. The results reveal systematic patterns in heavy precipitation events and provide new insights for risk assessment and future climate studies.
