                         monitoring capabilities is being increasingly demanded by several 
                         important societal sectors, such as agriculture, energy 
                         production, and industry, among others. This study aims to 
                         contribute to such developments by characterizing the observed 
                         daily precipitation conditions within the climatic context for the 
                         austral summer months over the southeast region of the state of 
                         SAo Paulo, Brazil. The characterization was designed to quantify 
                         the climatological features of daily precipitation and of the 
                         number of rainy (or wet) days. The objective is to provide 
                         complementary information to the traditionally available monthly 
                         and annual precipitation monitoring. Such a diagnostic 
                         characterization can assist answering the following questions: How 
                         did daily precipitation behave in southeast SAo Paulo during the 
                         last two decades? What is the typical distribution of summer 
                         precipitation in southeast SAo Paulo? How many wet summer days are 
                         typically observed in southeast SAo Paulo? How many wet summer 
                         days were observed during the last two decades? What is the 
                         typical distribution of wet summer days in southeast SAo Paulo? 
                         How have the latest years been in terms of wet summer days? The 
                         daily precipitation and wet day characterization was performed 
                         using historical data for the 1998/1999 to 2017/2018 period. The 
                         representativeness of these characteristics was assessed using a 
                         four times longer time series from a meteorological station 
                         located within the investigated region. The analysis indicated 
                         that for the southeast region of the state of SAo Paulo, the 
                         2013/2014 summer period presented values well below those 
                         previously recorded in association with exceptionally dry 
                         conditions established over this region, corroborating previous 
                         findings but now from the perspective of daily precipitation
