Abstract

A Markov chain probability model is found to fit Tel Aviv data of daily rainfall occurrence. This accounts for the form of the distributions of dry and of wet spells and of weather ‘cycles’ which have been presented in earlier papers. Further aspects of rainfall occurrence patterns may be derived as well, and are found to fit the data. In particular, the distribution of the number of rainy days per week, month or other period is obtained. Numbers of rainy days in different months are apparently independent.
