English translation: pluviometric regimen

Science - Environment & Ecology / Hydroclimatology
Spanish term or phrase: régimen pluviométrico
An article describes the "régimen pluviométrico" of a given region. Is "precipitation" precise enough? Or is there a more exact English equivalent? (No guesswork please.. I already have a list of guesses. Only reply if you know the answer. Thanks!)

Regime, actually. It turns out it's "rainfall regime" or, in more technical contexts, "pluviometric regime."

rain gauge readings


Explanation:
Results 1 - 10 of about 368 for "rain gauge readings".

No, I'm not completely sure either, but perhaps "rain gauge readings" for the region (we don't have ytour original CONTEXT) might fit the bill.

"Pluviométrico" tells me we are talking specifically about what the rain gauge says.
