Abstract

Dry-spell probability during the rainy season was studied within four localities of São Paulo State, Brazil. Data collected during 40 years (from 1955 to 1995) were analised using the truncated negative binomial distribution. Results showed that this model was very efficient for fitting estimated data. The probability value of 50%, was found for one day occurence without rain and of 25% for two days without rains. These values were valid for the monthes of January, February, March, October, November and December.
