The period of analysis is from 1979-01-02 to 2013-12-31. The statistics for each calendar month are the mean, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, probability of event, and percentiles in 0.05 interval. The data set also includes a p-value per calendar day of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test. The p-value of the KS test shows if the computed empirical cumulative distribution function (CDF) comes from a fitted gamma distribution given that there was a precipitation event." ;
