Screen 13: Rain Season
Because rainy seasons begin and end at different times in different parts of the
world, you must specify the month you wish your yearly rain data to begin.
January 1
st

highs and lows.
Screen 13: Rain Season

Note:
This setting determines when the yearly rain total is reset to zero. Davis Instruments
recommends a January rain season setting (the default), unless you reside in the
west coast of the United States, the Mediterranean coast, experience dry winters in
the Southern Hemisphere. If so, change the rain season setting to July 1
st
. If you are
performing hydrology studies in any of these climates in the Northern Hemisphere,
change the rain season setting to October 1
st
