Thank you.
agree Dylan Edwards : Is precipitation the action of falling, or is it the stuff that falls? The word is used in both ways - but, anyway, I'm in favour of "occurs".

you can omit it

Here it means "falls to" (as in a share) but you can just say that
70% of the precipitation is in the warm season
Peer comment(s):

agree Lina Episheva : it's better to omit it - with 75% (of the precipitation) in the warm season
