Mean annual rainfall in Northern Africa Mean annual rainfall, the coefficient of variation of annual rainfall, and rainfall regions (source: Nicholson et al., 1988, whose rainfall regions are shown by the yellow numbers.) The Sahel is the zone with a mean annual rainfall range of 100 mm to 300 mm, with the Sahelo-Saharan zone at the lower end of this amount. The Sahelo-Sudanian zone corresponds with a rainfall range of 300 mm to 600 mm, while the Sudanian zone itself has a southern boundary defined by the 1200 mm mean annual isohyet. The Guinean zone has rainfall greater than 1200 mm per year. © http://ag.arizona.edu
