Abstract :
Precipitation rates recorded in Barcelona, Spain, over a 20 year period have been processed, and the average annual cumulative distribution is presented. This distribution reflects the meteorological conditions for the North-East of Spain and agrees well with statistics obtained for certain parts of the North of Italy and Greece. The average worst-month distribution is also presented and is related to the annual statistics.
