                         regions over the country, as the Andean, Caribbean, Pacific, 
                         Amazon, and Orinoco regions. Given this scenario, knowing the 
                         current change in total precipitation and their extremes values 
                         are relevant. In this study, the main goal is to assess the 
                         spatio-temporal trends of heavy and intense rainfall at a seasonal 
                         scale during the last 38 years (1981-2018) using the trend 
                         empirical orthogonal function (TEOF). An increase in maximum 
                         precipitation during five consecutive days (RX5day), Simple daily 
                         intensity index (SDII), and the number of days with precipitation 
                         above 20 mm (R20mm) and 30 mm (R30mm) during December-February and 
                         March-May was observed in most of the Colombian territory, except 
                         for the Amazon region for RX5day. A decrease in total rainfall in 
                         June-August was observed in the Andean, the Caribbean, and 
                         southern Pacific regions, while, in the northern Pacific, it 
                         increased, consistent with the trend patterns of RX5day, SDII, and 
                         R20mm. During September-November, there was a reduction in 
                         rainfall in the Amazon region and the South Pacific, and an 
                         increase in RX5day, SDII, R20mm, and R30mm in the Andean, the 
                         Caribbean, and North Pacific regions. The TEOF showed more 
                         pronounced spatial trend patterns than those obtained with the 
                         traditional Mann-Kendall test. The findings offer a better 
                         understanding of the climate extremes impacts in tropical 
                         latitudes and help planners to implement measures against the 
                         future effects of climate change.",
