Your gap is the interval from day 8 to day 26 (i.e., days 9–25 have no plotted points). A gap means there were no data points for those days — this could be because there was no measurable rain (a dry spell), or because rainfall wasn’t recorded/reported for that period (equipment failure or missing data). Saying “not a lot of rain” is less likely, since small amounts would still appear as points on the plot.
