Hi Youssef, The IDV will read these data just fine. You need to correctly load the CSV data. We provide a movie on how to load in CSV data into the IDV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22TWdFunK3E See the attached image for how to define CSV data. I do not know the units of rain so I just guessed millimeters. See the attached image for the plot of these data.
