The main objective of this study is to investigate The Standard Precipitation Index (SPI), a commonly used method for determining extreme rainfall occurrences as well as gauging the duration and severity of droughts. To pinpoint exceptional rainfall events in a specific area, a methodology was provided in this paper for calculating the SPI for different periods of time and thresholds. Overall, the study highlights the potential of using the SPI to improve our understanding of extreme rainfall events. The goal of this study is to keep an eye on the extremely moist conditions that may eventually result in floods. Precipitation index data from several rain gauge sites in Peninsular Malaysia are used to calculate SPI time series.
