Short summary
In December 1991, precipitation on the Glorieuses and Mayotte was more than 3 times the climatological mean and mean sunshine duration was less than 1.5h per day. The most likely explanation was low values of the Madden-Julian Oscillation index, which favours high rainfall. El Niño, eastward quasi-biennial oscillation and high solar activity may also have had an indirect effect. No effect of the Pinatubo volcanic eruption is indicated as the precipitation anomalies are only local.
