This study examines the improvement in Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase Six
(CMIP6) models against the predecessor CMIP5 in simulating mean and extreme …

Detecting changes in climate is a prerequisite for a better understanding of the climate and
developing adaptation and mitigation measures at a regional and local scale. In this study …

Long-term gridded precipitation products (GPPs) are crucial for climatology and hydrological
research to overcome the limitations of gauge observations. Climate Hazards Group …

East Africa is one of the most vulnerable regions of Africa to extreme weather and climate
events. Regional and local information on climate extremes is critical for monitoring and …

Climate change is affecting the agriculture, water, and energy sectors in East Africa and the
impact is projected to increase in the future. To allow adaptation and mitigation of the …

A large number of historical simulations and future climate projections are available from
Global Climate Models, but these are typically of coarse resolution, which limits their …

Precipitation and air temperature are key drivers of watershed models. Currently there are
many open-access gridded precipitation and air temperature datasets at different spatial and …

Rainfall seasonality and timing are key climatic features affecting crop yield in rainfed
agriculture (RFA). We evaluated the dynamics of temporal rainfall attributes–the strength of …

This paper presents an analysis of projected precipitation extremes over the East African
region. The study employs six indices defined by the Expert Team on Climate Change …

The lack of reliable rainfall projection records remains a major challenge to Uganda. In the
advent of extreme wetness or drought events, reliable rainfall estimates for local planning …
