Abstract

In the present article an update is made on the influence by some physical-geographic factors on the temporal-spatial distribution of rain in some areas of the country, from the period 1981-2010. The analysis revealed that homogenous corrections should not be made for altitude in all the mountain ranges of the country. Through the use of daily rainfall data and the predominant wind direction, the influence of altitude in the highest total rainfall during the low rainy season is demonstrated and the influence of distance to the coast in the precipitation regime, among other results of interest.
