Description	The applicability of the Gamma distribution for the description of daily precipitation amounts within a single winter, spring, summer, and autumn season is tested on 90 European stations. The Lilliefors modiﬁcation of the Kolmogorov–Smirnov (KS) test is used to assess the goodness-of-ﬁt of the Gamma distribution to daily precipitation in every year and season of the reference period. The possible rejection of the Gamma distribution for a particular station and season is based on the number of years in which the distribution is rejected. The results are compared with those obtained from the non-modiﬁed KS test, whose application is incorrect when the ﬁt to the theoretical distribution is tested on the same data from which its parameters were estimated. We conﬁrm that the two tests yield considerably different results. The validity of the Gamma dist. is not as wide as it is commonly believed: in winter, precipitation at more than 40% of the examined stations is not Gamma-distributed.
