Abstract

Ethiopia is located between longitude 33°W and 48°E and between latitude 15.4°N and 3.4°S. The mean annual rainfall varies from 100mm in the northeast to more than 2400mm in the southwest. The lowest maximum temperature is recorded in the highlands, with the highest maximum temperatures in the northern parts of the Rift Valley and southeastern lowlands of the country. The spatial patterns of relative humidity indicate maximum values in the southwestern, western and northwestern highlands. Low values of relative humidity are observed over the northeastern and southeastern lowlands, and the spatial distribution of relative humidity varies from 40% to 85%.
