You can apply t test for testing the significance of difference between simulated rainfall and and original rainfall if the data on amount of rainfall are available. On the other hand, if the available data correspond to frequencies of rainfall then you are to apply chi-square test for testing the significance of difference between the frequencies of simulated rainfall and the corresponding frequencies of original rainfall. If insignificance is found from the test then the simulated rainfall can be regarded as the same with the original rainfall.
The validation of the marginal distributions is important as Dr. Chakrabarty suggested, and perhaps you could also try direct comparison of the cumulative PDFs. If you are interested in something simpler you can find some ideas in the following review paper:

Even though it comes from a different scientific field it provides some usefull information about dataset comparison/validation.
