A reappraisal of rainfall trends in the sahel

A reappraisal of rainfall trends in the sahel Two rainfall series for the Sahel region of West Africa have been updated to 1983. Annual and monthly series are presented and analysed. Relatively dry conditions have persisted in this region since 1968 due mainly to a decline in rainfall during August, the wettest month. Drought has probably been less severe in this region during the late rather than the early 1970s because of better rainfall early in the season.

Abstract

Two rainfall series for the Sahel region of West Africa have been updated to 1983. Annual and monthly series are presented and analysed. Relatively dry conditions have persisted in this region since 1968 due mainly to a decline in rainfall during August, the wettest month. Drought has probably been less severe in this region during the late rather than the early 1970s because of better rainfall early in the season. It is suggested that agricultural planning should be based on rainfall records for the last twenty years.
