We have the following:

It is not a linear relationship, because the behavior is not linear, nor is it proportional. When the months increase it does not necessarily increase rainfall, therefore it is not linear

The answer is:

The change between months is constant, but the chanfe in the amount of rain is not constant. So, the relationship is not linear
