Sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the Niño 1+2 region have a direct influence on precipitation variability in the Piura River basin, often triggering high-impact hydrometeorological events. This study evaluates the sensitivity of the RAIN4PE precipitation product to these anomalies by applying the coefficient of determination (R2) to monthly time series processed in Google Earth Engine. The results indicate that RAIN4PE responds significantly to warm Niño 1+2 conditions, reaching its highest R2 values between January and March, and revealing spatial patterns consistent with the regional ENSO dynamics. Overall, the findings demonstrate that RAIN4PE is a reliable tool for monitoring precipitation in the Piura River basin and provides valuable support for teleconnection studies and climate risk management.
