Mean Number Of Days With Rainfall greater than 10 mm April

This dataset contains the daily rainfall: A Threshold Analysis of South Africa (SA). The hydrological and agricultural analyses at daily time steps was because diurnality encapsulates many hydrologically and agriculturally related processes (e.g. evaporation, and transpiration), furthermore many operational decisions are made according to daily conditions (e.g. irrigation, tillage, pest control). Distribution patterns over SA of the mean number of days per month with rainfall exceeding 10 mm shows the higher threshold of 10 mm per day, a mean of 4 - 5 such events are measured per summer month in those Quaternary Catchments (QCs) located in the higher-lying mountainous areas of KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga, but this drops to fewer than a single day per month with >10 mm in the western third of SA.
