Climate and Agriculture

The variability of seasonal precipitation, and the sub-seasonal statistics of these, play a key role in the quality and quantity of agricultural output.

This Maproom includes maps and analyses of seasonal statistics of historical precipitation and seasonal precipitation forecasts

Historical Climate Information
Daily Precipitation Analysis
The Maproom explores historical daily precipitation by calculating simple seasonal statistics.
Historical Onset and Cessation Date
The Maproom explores historical rainy season onset and cessation dates based on user-defined definitions. The date when the rainy season starts is critical to agriculture planification, in particular for planting.
Historical Seasonal Totals
The Maproom explores historical rainy season length and total rainfall amount based on user-defined definition of onset. The date when the rainy season starts is critical to agriculture planification, in particular for planting.
