Climate extreme event indicates the manifestation of higher or lower values (with respect to a threshold value) by a climatic variable. The goal of this study is to analyse the spatial variation in 27 indices of temperature and precipitation extremes in the west-flowing river basin of Kutch, Saurashtra and Marwar (WFR-KSM basin). Climate extreme indices were calculated using RClimDex software on 50 years of daily precipitation gridded data and 36 years of daily maximum and minimum temperature data. Theil–Sen slope was calculated as the estimator of trend in 16 extreme indices of temperature and 11 extreme indices of precipitation throughout the basin. The results indicate increase towards wetter climate extremes and a shift towards hotter climate extremes.
