where yyyy is the year.
- Precipitation total (mm)
- Amount (mm) and date of greatest single-day precipitation
- Amount (mm) and date of greatest two-day precipitation
- Amount (mm) and date of greatest ten-day precipitation
- 1961-1990 90th percentile for single-day precipitation amount
- 1961-1990 99th percentile for single-day precipitation amount
- Number of single-day rainfall events above the 1961-1990 90th percentile
- Number of single-day rainfall events above the 1961-1990 99th percentile
- Proportion (%) of precipitation total from events that exceed the 1961-1990 90th percentile
- Proportion (%) of precipitation total from events that exceed the 1961-1990 99th percentile
- Maximum number of consecutive wet days (>=10 mm)
- Maximum number of consecutive dry days (<=0.2 mm)
