I think some of this also hinges on the definition of an extreme event. For instance I don’t think of it as a drought when a desert doesn’t get any rain, that’s just normal weather for a desert. I think climate change is expected to alter the pattern of rainfall, so there could be “events which are normal where they used to happen, but extreme in the places they now happen”.
