This rainfall estimate was derived from the Tropical Rainfall Monitoring Mission (TRMM) satellite precipitation dataset at a spatial resolution of approximately 25km for this region. It is possible that precipitation levels have been underestimated for local areas, and is not a substitute for ground station measurements. This is a preliminary analysis and has not been validated in the field.
