These figures give a fair idea of the relative rainfall in 

 different parts of the Islands. However, there is a very 

 considerable variation from year to year. In Manila, the 

 average, from 1865 to 1902, was 1938.3 mm; the least 

 being 906.5 mm in 1865, and the greatest, 2978.8 mm in 

 1867. 



The rainfall can be measured roughly in a can fastened on top of a 

 post in an open yard. It must be measured and the can emptied 

 immediately after each shower. In some places vessels to measure the 

 rainfall more accurately can be obtained from the Weather Bureau.

 season, in any year, on the west coast of the Zamboanga
