To determine which day had the heaviest rainfall from the given data set, follow these steps:

1. Identify the values given for each day:
- Day 1: 200 mm
- Day 2: 6 mm
- Day 3: 0 mm
- Day 4: 45 mm
- Day 5: 130 mm
- Day 6: 36 mm
- Day 7: 2 mm
- Day 8: 13 mm
- Day 9: 45 mm

2. Compare the rainfall values for each day:
Start with the initial value and compare each subsequent value to find the maximum.

- Day 1: 200 mm is recorded.
- Day 2: 6 mm is less than 200 mm.
- Day 3: 0 mm is less than 200 mm.
- Day 4: 45 mm is less than 200 mm.
- Day 5: 130 mm is less than 200 mm.
- Day 6: 36 mm is less than 200 mm.
- Day 7: 2 mm is less than 200 mm.
- Day 8: 13 mm is less than 200 mm.
- Day 9: 45 mm is less than 200 mm.

3. Identify the day with the maximum value:
Through the comparison, we can see that 200 mm is the maximum rainfall recorded. This value corresponds to Day 1.

Therefore, the day with the heaviest rainfall is Day 1 with 200 mm of rainfall.
