[TZGISUG] Tanzania Climate Data for GIS

[Pekka Hurskainen]

Dear Mike,

For raster datasets, have you looked at Africlim dataset by University of
York? It covers the whole Africa at 1 arc-second resolution.
It includes monthly grids of temperature and rainfall, and derived
bioclimatic summary variables such as moisture indices and dry season
length. There are both baseline grids (current conditions) and projected
grids for future conditions under different climate scenarios (RCPs).

See https://www.york.ac.uk/environment/research/kite/resources/#tab-1
