Résumé anglais Rainfall regimes are a good indicator of the remarkable inter-mixture of climatic influences which characterise the eastern central part of the Massif Central and are related to contrasts of altitude and aspect. The regimes with a summer or late spring maximum and a winter minimum, strongly marked in the basins, are sharply justaposed with those having an autumnal maximum and summer minimum in the Vivarais ; this latter feature extends far to the north on the Rhône side. Analysis of the quintilies, as well as that of a number of noteworthy periods of rainfall, makes it possible to indicate the importance and extent of "cévenol" type rainfall. It also shows, throughout the area, the regularity of the May rainfall regime, contrasting with the great variability of the autumn months.
