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.

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.

The Ghanaian markets whose food prices are monitored, with region, district and coordinates. Published by the World Food Programme on HDX, CC BY-IGO. 93 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.

Satellite vegetation index (NDVI) for every Ghanaian region and district in ten-day periods since 2002, with the long-term average and the anomaly against it — how green the land is compared with a normal year, which is how crop stress is spotted before a harvest fails. MODIS via WFP VAM on HDX, CC BY 4.0. 196200 records.

Population of each of Ghana's current 16 regions by sex and five-year age band, from the official Common Operational Dataset produced by UNFPA with the Ghana Statistical Service. The regions sum to 30.8 million, which matches the 2021 census. The companion district dataset is on the older 216-district geography and sums lower; these regional totals are the ones to use. CC BY 4.0. 1008 records.

Population by district, sex and five-year age band, from the official Common Operational Dataset produced by UNFPA with the Ghana Statistical Service. Read the geography before using it: this file covers 216 districts on Ghana's pre-2018 boundaries, not the current 260, and labels them with the old regions — Brong-Ahafo rather than Ahafo, Bono and Bono East. Its districts sum to 29.3 million against the 30.8 million in the companion region dataset, a gap of about 5%, because the two were compiled on different geographies. Use it for district-level shape, and the region dataset for totals. CC BY 4.0. 11664 records.
