The identifier should be descriptive and easy to read, using camel case to separate words is a good practice, so "amountOfRain" is the best choice. "time" is a poor choice because it doesn't indicate what is being stored. "amount of rain" is too long and has spaces which are not allowed in variable names. "amountofrainforsomeperiodoftime" is too long and not easy to read.
