TRMM images show seasonal rains flooding Africa's Sahel
The unusually heavy rains caused flooding in as many as 17 countries and 
affected more than a million people across Africa, reported BBC News on 
September 17. This image illustrates how extensive the extreme rainfall 
was. The image was made with data collected by the Tropical Rainfall 
Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite between August 20 and September 21, 
2007. The average daily totals recorded during this period are compared 
with average rainfall totals recorded during the same period since 
TRMM’s launch in 1997. Regions that received more rain per day than 
average are blue and green, while places that received less rain are 
yellow to red.
