Summary: The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the displacement in phases of maximum precipitation in continental areas. Climatic data are used of Europe (122 stations), Soviet Union (66 stations), North America (70 stations), South Asia (72 stations), Hungary (750 stations) and for additional investigation 48 stations of Australia. Rather close correlations exist between the phases of the wettest months and latitude in continental areas of Europe, Soviet Union aid North America. The isochrones of the wettest months exhibit more or less complicated distribution in South Asia, Australia, while using much greater density of stations the effect of mesoclimatic factors is demonstrated in Hungary.
