Meteo Rwanda Map Room

The maproom is a collection of maps and other figures that monitor climate and societal conditions at present and in the recent past. The maps and figures can be manipulated and are linked to the original data. Even if you are primarily interested in data rather than figures, this is a good place to see which datasets are particularly useful for monitoring current conditions.

    Climate affects sectors in society in a number of ways. These effects may be direct, as with heat stress, or indirect, as with infectious diseases such as malaria and meningitis.
    Climate variables may effect malaria transmission in certain regions. These products aid to determine the historical risk for malaria due to climatic factors.
    The variability of seasonal precipitation, and the sub-seasonal statistics of these, play a key role in the quality and quantity of agricultural output.
    The historical rainfall characteristics of Rwanda are classified into two distinct rainy seasons. These are: Season A (Sep-Dec: SOND) and Season B (Mar–May MAM).
