Abstract
The analysis of time series in weather variables principally involves three mathematical-statistical processes: a) the development of a qualified database without erroneous data or missing information; b) fitting the data to a theoretical statistical distribution; and c) the assessment of spatial interpolating techniques. For this analysis, 2165 weather stations in Mexico with daily rainfall records were chosen, taken from the network of weather stations of the National Weather Service.
