Abstract
An empirical but theoretically sound law derived from rainfall measurements obtained in the Congo (tropical and equatorial climates), and which provides a good fit of rainfall rate distributions observed in various hydrometeorological zones of the world, is presented. This rainfall rate distribution model is compared with the gamma and log-normal ones.
