monthly total precipitation:
     the average precipitation, times by the number of day in that month

annual absolute mimimum temperature:
     if just at surface, you can get it from SRF file

monthly mean temperature: it's in your PostProc output file

mean monthly percent of possible sunshine:
     unfortunately, we don't have this variables. you have find the
exact definition of this variable, then use sina in SRF file to
calculate it.
