Rainfall Stations in Somalia_FAOSWALIM_2007

Currently, there are over 100 manual rainfall stations, eight synoptic weather stations and 11 automatic weather stations in all Somalia. The stations record a variety of weather elements, including rainfall, temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind speed, wind direction and solar radiation. Data from these automatic stations is received by SWALIM in near-real-time through satellite feeds every four hours. The Somalia rainfall performance layer is generated using data from these stations and other data sources.
