Pluvial
Pluvial means of or pertaining to rain, espeically much rain; rainy.
The book of Ezra records that the Israelites elected to allow officials to act on behalf of the whole assembly when they needed to disperse from the foreign wives because it was during the pluvial season and would be imprudent to stay outside for an extended period. (Ezra 10:13)
"But there are many people; it is the rainy season and we are not able to stand in the open. Nor can the task be done in one or two days, for we have transgressed greatly in this matter." (Ezra 10:13, NASB)
