This study evaluates the validity of the Integrated Multisatellite Retrievals for Global Precipitation Measurement (IMERG) in scaling extreme precipitation with temperature (termed scaling factor, SF). To this end, we use Hadley‐Integrated Surface Database (HadISD) data set at 1‐hourly, 6‐hourly, an...
