Nope.
The Pavis City Guide and River of Cradles both plainly measure it in inches. It's in the table and in a footnote saying "In the frequent drought years, the rainfall will be much less, perhaps six inches per season or even dryer".
They also say that there will be on average 120 rainy days out of a 294 day year.
