Bulk precipitation was daily collected and individual pH measured at the Trachypogon savannas, Venezuela, over a consecutive 3‐year period. The volume‐weighted mean pH as calculated, were 5.8, 5.6 and 5.8 for 1981, 1982 and 1983, respectively. The annual variation of pH ranged from 4.9 to 6.9; 4.8 to 6.3 and 5.4 to 6.8 units in 1981, 1982 and 1983, respectively. However, in this savanna area, which is relatively remote from heavy sources of industrial pollution, the annual proportion of daily rains with pH < 5.0, occurring mainly at the onset and end of the wet season, were 2.0, 3.0 and 0.0% for 1981, 1982 and 1983, respectively.
