Abstract

A study of the daily rainfall in San Salvador (El Salvador) has been made over a thirty year period 1918–47 in order to determine the dry and wet spells. It has been found that the extreme dry spells on the Pacific Coast of Central America last longer than in other climates, examined byHuttary. The occurrence of a dry spell in San Salvador lasting over half a year is being minutely examined, and the cause of its origin traced to orographic effects during northerly winds.
