Made some graphics in python using the African Rainfall Climatology Version 2 (ARCv2) Dataset w/ 0.1*0.1 deg grid spacing.
The last decade of May 1-June 26 precipitation anomalies plus this year. This year is on a whole other planet

This dataset nearly broke python, 2.5*10^9 data points is a lot to handle haha
Here's a daily standardized anomaly time series I created in matlab. North Africa has seen above normal precipitation basically every day since the beginning of May, little sign of that changing anytime soon
