Solution

The total rainfall for the three months:
$- 0.86 + 2.56 - 1.24$
Let’s solve the expression
$= - 0.86 + 2.56 - 1.24 = 0.46$
Yearly average rainfall is $0$
Total rainfall for three months is $0.46$ which is greater than average rainfall
Hence, the total rainfall for the three-month period greater than the yearly average.
