Climate

Tracks of tropical storms recorded near Ghana: position, wind speed and pressure at each observation, from the international best-track archive. Sourced from NOAA IBTrACS, via HDX (CC BY-IGO). 10775 records.

Monthly mean sea level measured at Ghana's two tide gauges — Takoradi from 1929 to August 2012 and Tema from 1963 to September 1982 — in millimetres, with the number of days missing from each month and the quality flag the record carries. Heights are on each station's own Revised Local Reference datum, set roughly seven metres below mean sea level so values stay positive: the trend at a station is meaningful, a comparison of absolute heights between stations is not. Both are closed records: no quality-controlled Ghanaian tide-gauge data after 2012 is published under terms that allow reuse (the IOC's raw near-real-time feed from the gauges forbids commercial use). Sourced from the Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level, freely available with acknowledgement. 1027 records.

Ghana's surface temperature change against the 1951-1980 baseline, month by month and season by season since 1961, with the standard deviation of the baseline period. Sourced from FAO FAOSTAT, CC BY 4.0. 2210 records.

Satellite-estimated rainfall for every Ghanaian region and district in ten-day periods since 1981, with the long-term average for the same period and the anomaly against it, plus one and three-month accumulations. The series drought monitoring and crop-year assessment run on. CHIRPS via WFP VAM on HDX, CC BY 4.0. 370350 records.

Monthly summaries of Ghana's station weather back to 1973 — mean, maximum and minimum temperature, dew point, total rainfall, rain and thunder days, wind and visibility — with the number of days each station reported, so thin months can be told from complete ones. Sourced from NOAA Global Summary of the Day, public domain. 7908 records.

What Ghana's weather stations actually recorded each day since 2000: temperature, dew point, pressure, visibility, wind, gusts, rainfall, and whether there was fog, rain or thunder. Observations rather than a model. Sourced from NOAA Global Summary of the Day, public domain. 93470 records.

Ghana's synoptic weather stations with coordinates, elevation, ICAO code and the span of their record — the stations the observation datasets are keyed to. Sourced from NOAA's Integrated Surface Database history, public domain. 33 records.

Monthly global horizontal, direct normal and diffuse irradiance, clear-sky irradiance and clearness index for all 16 Ghanaian regional capitals, 1990-2026 — the inputs a solar yield estimate is built from. NASA POWER. 7040 records.

Daily temperature, rainfall, wind, humidity and solar radiation for Accra, Kumasi, Tamale, from 2015-01-01 to 2026-08-31. NASA POWER. 12783 records.

Monthly temperature, rainfall, rainy days, wind, humidity and solar radiation for all 16 Ghanaian regional capitals, 1990-2026. Aggregated from daily NASA POWER satellite and reanalysis data. 7040 records.
