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

Dear All,

Does anyone in this group have experience accessing or using raw climate datasets from the Tanzania Meteorological Agency (TMA). ?

I know from published reports that the TMA have collected climate data daily over the last 25 years.

In particular can anyone supply information on the following:
1. Name and GPS Location of all stations collecting climate data daily or monthly ?
2. Availability of GIS readable spreadsheets containing rainfall and temperature data over the past 25 years.
3. Availability of recent vector isolines in shapefile or gdb format for rainfall and temperature.
4. Raster data at resolutions better than 1km pixels for rainfall and temperature (TMA shows 4km pixels on their MapRoom website).
