The criterion is based on daily areal precipitation amounts in river basins and on time concentration of the amounts in a three-day period. We identified several groups of events with similar spatial distribution of precipitation, which is most likely related to similar thermodynamic conditions in synoptic scale. The most exceptional events were concentrated in high summer, particularly in orographically exposed river basins. The analysis of interannual variability revealed two periods with a rather low frequency of events (1965 – 1974 and 1986 – 1995).
