Mean and absolute seasonal precipitation maxima of short‐term totals (up to 1 hour and 6 hours, respectively) are detected in altitudes between 300 and 600 m a. s. l. Maximum frequency of mean warm‐season precipitation occurs two hours earlier in the mountains, whereas mean totals remain at the same level until 2100 UTC. The mean time during which precipitation maxima occur generally does not change with altitude.
