Concise description:
Simple calculation that can be used to compare any time period for any location. Can be computed on daily, weekly, monthly, seasonal and annual timescales, which will suit many users needs. Calculated by dividing actual precipitation by normal precipitation for the time being considered and multiplying by 100.
