To find the mode of the given data, we look for the number that appears most frequently in the "Days of Rain" column.

Here are the values for the days of rain by month:

• January: 6
• February: 7
• March: 10
• April: 10
• May: 11
• June: 12
• July: 10
• August: 10
• September: 9
• October: 7
• November: 7
• December: 6

Now, let's count the frequency of each value:

• 6 appears 2 times
• 7 appears 3 times
• 9 appears 1 time
• 10 appears 4 times
• 11 appears 1 time
• 12 appears 1 time

The highest frequency is for the number 10, which appears 4 times. Therefore, the mode of the given data is:
