In the period AD 1301 to AD 1550, before the transition to a dryer regime, the correlation between ENSO and rainfall variability is highly significant (r = -0.495, p<0.001, n = 240).

marginally significantp = 0.024actually significant

It has already been argued that it is inappropriate to compare the annualized δ 13 C record with an annualized rainfall record because of imprecision in the age model, and it is not surprising that the correlation with data from nearest rainfall station at Pafuri (22.450°S, 31.311°E), which has a near-complete record since AD 1924, is marginally significant (r = -0.246, p = 0.024, n = 84)( S2 Fig ).
