✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A method is here presented for dividing any region into a number of rainfall districts on the basis of seasonal distribution of precipitation. This is accomplished by drawing on a map of the region two systems of lines of equal “phase” and equal “relative amplitude,” which are measures respectively of the epoch of maximum rainfall and of the normal fluctuation which occurs in the course of a year. A map of the Union of South Africa is reproduced showing rainfall districts obtained by this method.
