“…Tamm et al [67], based on the trend analysis of precipitation series for durations between 20 and 180 min, concluded that it can be generalised that the annual maximum rainfall intensities in Estonia (northern Europe) have increased. In a study in which 14 extreme rainfall indices were analysed in terms of trends for four meteorological stations in a region of Turkey [71], it was concluded that the precipitation intensity indices (SDII) of all the stations showed increasing trends, although only two were statistically significant. Liuzzo and Freni [77] analysed the trends of precipitation series for different sub-hourly durations recorded at 65 meteorological stations in Sicily; for each duration, the results showed that in the area of study the extreme rainfall series were affected by both negative and positive statistically significant trends.…”

In recent years, numerous studies have been carried out on changes in the temperature and precipitation regimes and in the frequency of the extreme events that are a result of climate change. While there is evidence of an increase in temperature at a global level, this globality does not seem to occur with precipitation. The Igeldo weather station (San Sebastian) has one of the longest recorded rainfall intensity series in Spain and can be considered as representative of the Cantabrian coast. This circumstance makes it the ideal place to analyse the trend of the pluviometric regime of this area, and this was precisely the objective of this study. A total of 165 series of pluviometric parameters were obtained to characterise the pluviometric regime. The Mann–Kendall and Spearman tests were applied to evaluate the trends of the different parameters, and the Pettitt test was applied to detect the existence of change points. In all the series, it was proven that there were no significant trends or change points. Significant increasing trends were only detected in the series of maximum winter precipitation. In general terms, it can be concluded that the precipitation regime in Igeldo is quite stationary in the context of climate change.
