Abstract

For an unusually long time but not dry as a dry dry dry period, it is considered as a dry spell. Therefore, it is possible to produce a type of draft during the rainy season and that time is considered as a dry spell. To define dry spell, it can be considered as lesser than the threshold value of precipitation of the indexes of inferior days.
