rainfall totals
Accumulated precipitation amounts
Rainfall totals are cumulative measurements of precipitation over a given period—a storm, a month, a year.
Weather reports cite rainfall totals to convey how much rain has fallen: Rainfall totals exceeded six inches overnight.
The phrase appears in forecasts, flood warnings, and climate data, where precise accumulation matters more than whether it's currently raining.
