Daily rainfall records of 39 stations spanning the different agro climatic zones of Burkina Faso were analyzed to describe the evolution of five seasonal rainfall descriptors over time. The period from1941 to 2000, including the two most contrasted periods in the recent history of the Sahelian cl...
