More frequent extreme rainfall events is one worrisome aspect of climate change, likely driven by an increase in atmospheric heat which boosts the atmospheric water content, subsequently altering precipitation. Urban areas are particularly affected by weather extremes, although the impact of urbanization on intense rainfall remains difficult to quantify. This study investigates changes in extreme precipitation events using daily data from 6028 weather stations worldwide, extracted from the Global Historical Climatological Network (GHCN). While previous studies examined similar trends, and found the largest frequency increase for the most intense events, this work also incorporates urbanization factors. The analysis focuses on the 60 most intense precipitation events within the 1962-2021 timeframe, evaluating trends in frequency at each station. Two urbanization indices were used to categorize stations, revealing correlations with changes in extreme event frequency, indicating that the occurrence of extreme precipitations is increasing significantly more in densely populated urban areas.
