[R] Help to organize data

[Jackson Rodrigues]

Hi everybody,

My name is Jackson and come here ask for a help to organize data.
I really need help from you. I have several data sets to organize.

I have to summarize precipitation data collected in different days and
months in only one table.
However, those data are disperse in days and times. Those rainy days have a
more observations than drought ones.

Below you can find a hypothetical example of what I have and I what I need
comes in sequence.

The following table is what I have for a single year.
Notice that number of observations varies from day to day entire year.

That way is hard to develop analysis comparing to another year.
Thus, I would like summarize all information in a new (reasonable) table.

I need a command that says: Sum all January 1st, Sum all January 2nd  until
December 31st resulting in something as follows.

*Month       Day->*

*1*

*2*

*3*

The question is: How to manage it?

Does anybody could help me?

Thank you very much in advance

With the best wishes
