<dataIdInfo>
<idAbs>Dry spell periods are defined as a count of the number of days within the date range where daily precipitation was less than 0.5 mm. Consecutive days below 0.5 mm is a count of the number of days, starting from the date of the product and going back in time, since there has been a day with precipitation of at least 0.5 mm. This is not an accumulation of precipitation, simply a count of days. Dry spell products are only produced during the Growing Season, April 1 through October 31.
