Hi again

It seems that it each of us has its own perception but just to clarify:
The rainfall unit in RegCM is mm/day (even for the 3-hourly). Then, just take 
few seconds and think about: to get the monthly cumulative rainfall (in mm or 
mm/month) you need to average (forget about summing) for all timesteps and 
multiply by 30, 31, 28 or 29 depending on the month your consider. Bi, am I 
right?

Again, Rajesh if your observed data is daily (I guess it is), just sum up all 
timesteps and you will have your cumulative rainfall in mm.

Hope it clear now.
Cheers !

Dear all,

To convert model into mm/month, you need only to sum up the daily precipitation 
or hourly precipitation in each month and this will automatically give mm/month.
