Table 1

Correlations of annual rainfall to that of the subsequent year, short-term (10 years), and long-term (40 years) cumulative: * indicate significance of individual correlations at 𝛼=0.05 level. Since a large number of statistical tests are being performed, a Bonferroni correction to the significance level is applicable. After the Bonferroni correction, none of the correlations are significant.
