## Abstract Singular value decomposition (SVD) techniques are used to deduce a relationship between rainfall over the Caribbean basin and oppositely signed seaβsurface temperature anomalies in the Pacific and Atlantic. The analysis is done for four 3 month seasons. The first two seasons: NovemberβJ
Annual rainfall in the Caribbean exhibits a bimodal structure with two rainfall maxima (May-June and September-October) separated by what has been termed a mid-summer drought (MSD) (July-August). Despite general acceptance of the intensification and expansion of the North Atlantic High Pressure (NAH
The relative rainfall intensity for autumn near the city of SHo Paulo, Brazil, is analysed using 89 rain-gauge stations. Identifying monthly accumulated precipitation extremes in May for the 1935-1991 period is the main aim of this work. The results show a marked influence of strong El Niiio events
