EN Basing on sample data (registered in Poznań, Central Poland) we find, applying adopted Schilling approach (aimed to determine the threshold allowing to classify events as independent), that the rainless periods follow an exponential distribution, so the rainfall occurrences can be describe via Poisson process (with parameter λ = 0.0064), and MTBS = 675 minutes.
