How to add a simple line to a graphic

Hey guys,
I had help from a forum member a couple of months ago on a similar topic, but I can't seem to apply it to my file (see atached)
I basically need to add some lines to my original graphic, identifying the wetting season and the drying season, but I have no idea how to do it.

Here is the original graphic:

Here is what I'm looking for:

I added the lines trough paint, just to clarify what I’m looking for. It doesn't have to be exactly as I demonstraded, I just want to convey that idea, any suggestion?


Thanks in advance!

Hi there hui!
Yes I copied my data into your excel file, but I get completely different graphics from the values I entered (see pictures and attached file)
Why does this happen?

Hi there hui!

Oh I think I get it, you are using daily values, but I'm using hourly values, is there a way to convert your formula to hourly values?
 
You are close except you missed the underlying issues

The chart uses Column A as the X-Axis values
But you only had X Axis Values down to row 367
in A2: =Int(B2)
then copy that down to the bottom of the data Row 8738

Next each of the 4 data series was only extended down to Row 367
so select each series and edit the =Series() forula in the Formula Bar to extend the charts down to 8738
eg:
Old: =SERIES(Sheet1!$F$1,Sheet1!$A$2:$A$367,Sheet1!$F$2:$F$367,4)
New: =SERIES(Sheet1!$F$1,Sheet1!$A$2:$A$8738,Sheet1!$F$2:$F$8738,4)
Same for the other 3 data Series

Then adjust the X-Axis so that it extends from 1/1/2024 to 31/12/2024

Finally adjust the two cells that control the size of the Horizontal Bars, they both have formula
