Explanation:

Step1: Identify the rainfall data

Look at the "Hours and Amount of Rain" row in the table. The values are Trace, 0.28, 0.25, 0.49, 5.28, 3.43, 1.19, 0.02.

Step2: Find the maximum value

Compare the numerical values: 0.25, 0.28, 0.49, 1.19, 3.43, 5.28. The largest is 5.28.

Step3: Determine the time

The column with 5.28 is under "September 13, 6 PM" (from the timeline at the top: 12 (Sep 12), 6 PM, MDT, 6 AM, 13 (Sep 13) Noon, 6 PM, MDT, 6 AM, 14 (Sep 14) Noon. The 5th column after Sep 12's 6 PM is Sep 13, 6 PM? Wait, let's check the x - axis labels: Sep 12: 6 PM, MDT, 6 AM; Sep 13: 6 AM, Noon, 6 PM, MDT; Sep 14: 6 AM, Noon. Wait, the table rows: the first column is "Trace" (Sep 12, 6 PM?), then next columns: 0.28 (Sep 12, MDT), 0.25 (Sep 12, 6 AM), 0.49 (Sep 13, 6 AM), 5.28 (Sep 13, Noon?), wait no, maybe the timeline: the top has Sep 12 (left) to Sep 14 (right). The "Hours and Amount of Rain" row has values: Trace, 0.28, 0.25, 0.49, 5.28, 3.43, 1.19, 0.02. The 5th value (index 4, 0 - based) is 5.28. Looking at the top labels: Sep 12: 6 PM (col1), 6 PM? Wait, the top x - axis: from left to right, the times are: Sep 12: 6 PM, MDT, 6 AM; Sep 13: 6 AM, Noon, 6 PM, MDT; Sep 14: 6 AM, Noon. Wait, maybe the columns correspond to:

1. Sep 12, 6 PM

1. Sep 12, MDT (midnight?)

1. Sep 13, 6 AM

1. Sep 13, Noon

1. Sep 13, 6 PM

1. Sep 13, MDT (midnight)

1. Sep 14, 6 AM

1. Sep 14, Noon

So the 5th column (index 4) is Sep 13, 6 PM? Wait no, the value 5.28 is in the column where the time is around Sep 13, 6 PM? Wait, the timeline at the top: "12" (Sep 12) with 6 PM, MDT, 6 AM; then "13" (Sep 13) with 6 AM, Noon, 6 PM, MDT; then "14" (Sep 14) with 6 AM, Noon. So the columns:

1. Sep 12, 6 PM

1. Sep 12, MDT (maybe midnight Sep 12 - 13)

1. Sep 13, 6 AM

1. Sep 13, Noon

1. Sep 13, 6 PM

1. Sep 13, MDT (midnight Sep 13 - 14)

1. Sep 14, 6 AM

1. Sep 14, Noon

The "Hours and Amount of Rain" row: the 5th value (column 5, 1 - based) is 5.28, which is under Sep 13, 6 PM? Wait, no, let's check the numbers: Trace (col1), 0.28 (col2), 0.25 (col3), 0.49 (col4), 5.28 (col5), 3.43 (col6), 1.19 (col7), 0.02 (col8). So col5 is the 5th column, which is under "September 13, 6 PM" (from the top timeline: after Sep 13 Noon comes Sep 13 6 PM).

Answer:

San Juan received the highest rainfall totals (5.28 inches) at 6 PM on September 13, 1928.
