The lack of appropriate data has long been a major obstacle to the study of the Sahelian rainfall at the event scale. In this paper, use is made of the EPSAT-Niger recording rain-gauge data to characterize the convective rain events of the central Sahel. Although some considerations lead to the iden

A comparative study has been conducted of the diurnal variations of 3-hourly rainfall for Niamey, located in Niger, in the West African Sahel among four extreme precipitation periods: the wet periods of the 1950s and late 1980s to early 1990s versus the drought periods of the early 1970s and 1980s.
