It is a gridded rainfall time series for trend analysis and seasonal drought monitoring, spans 50°S-50°N (and all longitudes) and ranges from 1981 to near-present. The anomaly refers to the difference between current rainfall and the average rainfall that occurred between 1981 and 2010 in millimeters. For more information visit the [CHIRPS site](https://www.chc.ucsb.edu/data/chirps). This dataset contains the latest available CHIRPS anomaly data. The full list of data available is available from USGS for [Mar-May data](https://edcintl.cr.usgs.gov/downloads/sciweb1/shared/fews/web/africa/east/pentadal/chirps/seasaccum/marmay/anom/lta/downloads/pentadal/), [Oct-Dec data](https://edcintl.cr.usgs.gov/downloads/sciweb1/shared/fews/web/africa/east/pentadal/chirps/seasaccum/octdec/anom/lta/downloads/pentadal/), and others. Additionally, subnational statistics (mean, min, max) have been calculated for Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia and are available in the csv resource.</dc:description><dc:identifier>east-africa-chirps-seasonal-rainfall-accumulation-anomaly-by-pentad</dc:identifier><dc:publisher>Humanitarian Data Exchange</dc:publisher><dc:rights>Public</dc:rights><dc:title>East Africa - CHIRPS Seasonal Rainfall Accumulation Anomaly by Pentad</dc:title><dc:type>Datasets</dc:type><dc:coverage>Ethiopia</dc:coverage><dc:coverage>Kenya</dc:coverage><dc:coverage>Somalia</dc:coverage><dc:date>2023-12-26 to 2024-05-31</dc:date></oai_dc:dc>
