Standard variability statistics such as the standard deviation, variance, and coefficient of variation do not consider the chronological order of these values. In Climatology, however, the temporal order of meteorological events is a relevant factor that can affect natural and socio-economic systems. In order to evaluate the disparity between consecutive values in precipitation series, we applied the Consecutive Disparity Index (D) to the monthly grid with the highest spatial resolution (10×10 km) existing in Peninsular Spain for the period December 1915–November 2015. Monthly, seasonal, and annual D values show an increase from north to southwest, especially in July and August. The D values for the month-to-month correlative series and for monthly mean precipitation reveal a relatively similar pattern. In the latter case, however, the low values are recorded towards southern Spain, following some mountain ranges in the Centre-East of the territory. Monthly, seasonal, and annual precipitation values are also negatively correlated with the corresponding D values. © 2021, The Author(s). 000117421 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/CGL2017-83866-C3-3-R$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO-FEDER/CGL2017-83866-C3-1-R$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO-FEDER/CGL2017-83866-C3-2-R 000117421 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000117421 590__ $$a3.4$$b2022 000117421 592__ $$a0.826$$b2022 000117421 591__ $$aMETEOROLOGY & ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES$$b43 / 94 = 0.457$$c2022$$dQ2$$eT2 000117421 593__ $$aAtmospheric Science$$c2022$$dQ2 000117421 594__ $$a6.5$$b2022 000117421 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000117421 700__ $$aLopez-Bustins J.-A. 000117421 700__ $$aLemus M. 000117421 700__ $$aMoreno-Garcia M.C. 000117421 700__ $$aBalagué X. 000117421 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-8518-9177$$aGonzalez-Hidalgo J.C.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000117421 700__ $$aBeguería S. 000117421 700__ $$aPeña-Angulo D. 000117421 700__ $$aTrullenque V.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000117421 7102_ $$13006$$2430$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
