Meteorological and Remote Sensing Data for Rainfall Forecasting in Rwanda

A zip folder containing meteorological data obtained from Open-Meteo and satellite based remote sensing data to aid seasonal rainfall analysis in Rwanda. Duration of each time series is from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2024. The folder contained 8 weather data from Open Meteo: daylight duration, daily rainfall sum, relative humidity, shortwave radiation sum, sunshine duration, maximum temperature at 2m, dominant wind direction at 10m, and maximum wind speed at 10m. The folder also contained 5 time series obtained from satellite imagery: enhanced vegetation index (EVI), day land surface temperature, daily rainfall, soil moisture, and solar radiation. All time series are obtained for the 416 sectors in Rwanda, hence the *.csv files have 416 columns. The zip folder also has shape files for the sectors in Rwanda used for obtaining this data.
