Rainfall (1981-present) and temperature (1961-present) time series reconstructed from station observations and remote sensing proxies. This interface allows users to view rainfall, maximum and minimum temperature climatologies and anomalies. Rainfall climatology is defined over the period 1991-2020.

Rainfall time series (1981-present) and temperature time series (1961-present) reconstructed from station observations, remote sensing and other proxies. This interface allows users to view rainfall, maximum, minimum and mean temperature seasonal climatologies, anomalies and probability of exceedance.

Rainfall time series (1981-present) and temperature time series (1961-present) reconstructed from station observations, remote sensing and other proxies. This interface allows users to view rainfall, maximum, minimum and mean temperature seasonal trends expressed per year, over the selected period or percent of the average over the selected period.

The Standardized Precipitation Index is an indicator of extreme rainfall events, whether they are drought or excess rainfall.

The Maproom facilitates the exploration of the history of extreme monthly and seasonal rainfall characteristics.

This map shows the historical probability (given in percentile) of seasonal average monthly rainfall falling within the upper (wet), middle (normal), or bottom (dry) one-third ("tercile") of the 1981 to present historical distribution in Zambia given the state of ENSO (El Niño, Neutral, La Niña) during that same season.

This map shows the historical probability (given in percentile) of seasonal average monthly temperature falling within the upper (hot), middle (normal), or bottom (cold) one-third ("tercile") of the 1961 to present historical distribution in Zambia given the state of ENSO (El Niño, Neutral, La Niña) during the previous season (e.g. Jan-Mar temperature against Oct-Dec ENSO state).

This map shows the historical probability (given in percentile) of seasonal average monthly rainfall falling within the upper (wet), middle (normal), or bottom (dry) one-third ("tercile") of the 1983 to present historical distribution in Zambia given the Terciles of IOD (Postive, Neutral, Negative) during that same season.

this page displays dekadal (approximately 10-day) rainfall amounts over the country. The default map shows rainfall totals for the most recently available dekad, but totals for previous dekads can be displayed as well.
