Abstract: Future changes in the Indian monsoon could affect millions of people, yet even the ways in which it might have changed over recent years remain uncertain. Statistical analysis indicates that during the second half of the twentieth century there were no spatially uniform changes in the frequency or intensity of heavy rainfall events over India, but there was an increase in the spatial variability of these characteristics.
