Probability of a wet day following a dry day in the month

The probability is calculated as

Pi(W⁄D)=daysW⁄D,idaysdry,iP_i(W⁄D)=\frac{days_{W⁄D,i}}{days_{dry,i}}Pi​(W⁄D)=daysdry,i​daysW⁄D,i​​

where Pi(W⁄D)P_i(W⁄D)Pi​(W⁄D) is the probability of a wet day following a dry day in month iii, daysW⁄D,idays_{W⁄D,i}daysW⁄D,i​ is the number of times a wet day followed a dry day in month iii for the entire period of record, and daysdry,idays_{dry,i}daysdry,i​ is the number of dry days in month iii during the entire period of record. A dry day is a day with 0 mm of precipitation. A wet day is a day with > 0 mm precipitation.
