QGIS plugin for rainfall extraction, SPI/RAI/PCI indices, and trend analysis in Malawi using CHIRPS data via Google Earth Engine."QGIS plugin for rainfall extraction, SPI/RAI/PCI indices, and trend analysis in Malawi using CHIRPS data via Google Earth Engine. RAM - Rainfall Analysis Malawi (QGIS plugin) Rainfall extraction, SPI/RAI/PCI indices, and trend analysis for Malawi, using CHIRPS Daily precipitation via the Google Earth Engine Python API. What it does Point extraction,pick a point on the map (or type lon/lat), get a daily/monthly/annual CHIRPS rainfall time series, export to CSV. AOI / district analysis,load your own boundary (shapefile or GeoPackage: a district, a watershed, a hand-drawn polygon the plugin does not bundle a boundary layer, so bring your own), get zonal statistics (mean/min/max/std/sum) per period, export CSV. Rainfall raster, straight into QGIS,total or mean rainfall over the AOI, downloaded synchronously from Earth Engine and added directly as a layer in the QGIS map canvas no Google Drive step, no waiting on an export task. Choose native (~5.5 km), 1 km, 500 m, or 250 m (the last three bicubic-resampled from the native grid, not a truer observation). A Google Drive export is kept as a fallback button for AOIs/date-ranges too large for direct download (roughly >32-50 MB), since that path has no size ceiling. Climate indices ,SPI (1/3/6/12/24-month), RAI (annual), PCI (annual), computed from either a CHIRPS extraction or an imported ground-station monthly CSV, so the two can also be plotted together. Trend analysis, Mann-Kendall test, Sen's slope, OLS regression, moving averages, on the annual series. Install 1. Copy this folder into your QGIS plugins directory: - Linux: `~/.local/share/QGIS/QGIS3/profiles/default/python/plugins/` - Windows: `%APPDATA%\QGIS\QGIS3\profiles\default\python\plugins\` - macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/QGIS/QGIS3/profiles/default/python/plugins/` 2. Install dependencies into QGIS's own Python (see `requirements.txt` for the exact commands per OS QGIS plugins run inside QGIS's bundled interpreter, not your regular system Python). 3. In QGIS: Plugins -> Manage and Install Plugins -> Installed, enable "RAM - Rainfall Analysis Malawi". 4. You need a Google Ea …
