Abstract
The changes of rainfall values during great Forbush decreases recorded by the low-latitudinal neutron monitor of Huancayo (47 events from 19 56 through 1992) were examined. The data on precipitations were taken from the State of Sao Paulo and from the Amazonian region, Brazil. As a rule, the data from more than 50 meteorological stations were used f or each events. The main result is the following: during strong decrea ses of cosmic-ray flux in the atmosphere (great Forbush decreases) the precipitation value is decreased. The effect of rainfall changes is s een more distinctly if wet seasons are considered.
