1. This document summarizes statistics on climate extremes, including time series plots and extreme value analyses of temperature and precipitation data from Houston, Texas. 2. Fitted generalized extreme value (GEV) distributions to one-day, three-day, and seven-day maximum precipitation values show increasing return levels with longer durations. 3. Bayesian and frequentist methods are demonstrated for fitting GEV distributions and estimating return levels of extreme precipitation events.
