Characterization of a mid-summer drought (MSD) with precipitation based statistics. The MSD is a phenomenon of decreased rainfall during a typical rainy season. It is a feature of rainfall in much of Central America and is also found in other locations, typically those with a Mediterranean climate. Details on the metrics are in Maurer et al.
