What the Pontianak climate table shows

Values are multi-decadal climatological averages for the -0.03194, 109.325 grid cell, not a single year. Rain is the daily mean, so a value of 2.00 mm/day is about 60 mm across a 30-day month. Averages smooth over extremes, so use them for planning rather than for what to pack for next Tuesday.

Frequently asked questions

How much rain is 13.07 mm/day in a month?

Rain is recorded as a daily mean, so 13.07 mm/day is roughly 397 mm across a 30-day month.
