Probability of Precipitation
The fraction of days in which various types of precipitation are observed. If more than one type of precipitation is reported in a given day, the more severe precipitation is counted. For example, if light rain is observed in the same day as a thunderstorm, that day counts towards the thunderstorm totals. The order of severity is from the top down in this graph, with the most severe at the bottom.
When precipitation does occur it is most often in the form of slight rain (53% of days with precipitation have at worst slight rain), moderate rain (27%), and thunderstorms (20%).
