seasonal rain

Annually recurring precipitation

Seasonal rain is precipitation that falls during a particular time of year, especially in climates with distinct wet and dry periods.

Monsoons are the most dramatic example, bringing months of heavy rainfall to regions like South Asia and West Africa.

The farmers depend on seasonal rains to fill their reservoirs.
