3.1.2. Seasonal Rainfall Variability

For both seasons, the total seasonal rainfall varied significantly among rain gauges and between seasons within the study site (Figure 6). In SES1 (Figure 6a), the number of total events per rain gauge ranged between 6 and 12, with the total amount of rainfall ranging between 120.1 and 226.6 mm. The average seasonal spatial distribution of rainfall per rain gauge for SES1 was 161.9 mm. For SES2 (Figure 6b), the number of rainy days per rain gauge ranged between 23 and 29, with rainfall ranging between 382 and 576.2 mm. The average seasonal spatial distribution of rainfall per rain gauge was 437.6 mm. The total seasonal rainfall for both seasons, as expected, was highly correlated (*r* = 0.97) with the events (Figure 7). The intraseasonal correlations were far lower than both seasons combined.
