A data science project analyzing rainfall patterns to support climate-resilient infrastructure in East Africa.
# Africa Rainfall Analysis
This project explores rainfall data across five African countries: **Ethiopia**, **Kenya**, **Malawi**, **Benin**, and **Côte d'Ivoire**. Using Python and data science tools, the goal is to analyze seasonal patterns, detect climate variability, and support climate-resilient infrastructure development.
## Objectives
- Clean and preprocess raw rainfall data
- Analyze spatial and temporal rainfall patterns
- Visualize trends and anomalies
- Share reproducible insights for use in environmental planning, agriculture, and engineering
## Tools & Technologies
- Python (Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib, Seaborn)
- Jupyter Notebook
- GitHub for version control
- Visual Studio Code (optional)
## Data Source
Rainfall datasets obtained from national and regional repositories.
Manual data entry and cleaning were performed for consistency.
