The authors have responded to all four reviews in an adequate manner. I rate the manuscript as acceptable for publication if all suggested revisions are included in the final manuscript.

Further suggestions:
- Fig. R7 should be included in the supplement of the paper.
- Your answer to comment R3C12 should be included somewhere in the final paper.

I rate the revised manuscript as acceptable for publication.

Please include the following technical corrections in the final manuscript version:

- Page 4, line 26: Please correct reference to Fig. R1, it is labeled as Fig. S6 in the new supplement.

- Page 12: Please check your different references to Fig. S8 on this page. In the supplementary material, Fig. S8 displays the coefficient of correlation (rho) between the horizontal wind speed at 300 hPa and precipitation for all months. However, in the text you are sometimes referring to the Fig R7 of your author’s response, which shows the clustering for different k values.
