= 4.1 R −0.21 mm −1 (equivalent to 41 R −0.21 cm −1 in the reference [4]), R being the rainrate in stratiform precipitation in millimeters per hour; D = raindrop diameter in mm The units of N 0 are sometimes simplified to cm −4 but this removes the information that this value is calculated per cubic meter of air.
Heavy rainfall events have fallen due to stalled fronts near the state as well, and occur during the March through May and October through November timeframe. The wettest month recorded at a Florida climate station was during May 1891 when Gainesville, Florida received 30.90 inches (785 mm). [23]

It is mostly used in weather radar, to compare the equivalent reflectivity factor (Z) of a remote object (in mm 6 per m 3) to the return of a droplet of rain with a diameter of 1 mm (1 mm 6 per m 3).
