Abstract
Climate extremes have a strong societal impact, especially extreme rainfalls. Recent dramatic events, like Alex Storm that stroke northern Italy and South-East of France, emphasize the need of a good knowledge of extreme events to adapt infrastructures. Inherently suffering of too few data, this field would benefit a tool which creates homogeneous regions to improve the extreme studies. We propose a clustering method tailored for extreme and based on the probability distributions. Furthermore, we analyze its results on a daily rainfall data-set from Meteo-France.
