For the onset and Termination dates, no clear regional pattern could be seen. There is decrease in the duration of the rainy season. The number of wet days has been experiencing a decreasing trend in the Sudan savannah resulting in increment in the number of dry days. There is also a decreasing trend in the number of wet days and a corresponding increment in the number of dry days in August.
