■To design better fade mitigation techniques, there is the need to predict precipitation intensity, since attenuation tends to increase with precipitation in the earth-space path; ■ We analysed three consecutive years' (2003 to 2005) data from Chilbolton's disdrometer with a view to determining which distribution best fits the collected data; ■ Our results show although the method of moments for fitting lognormal and gamma may produce reasonable rain rate predictions [3, 16], the distributions produced do not actually match the DSDs.
