Precipitation geographical distribution Over Mozambique , mean annual precipitation are estimated with 813.5 (mm/year) from precipitation radar, and 790.3 (mm/year) from microwave radiometer observations. (see high resolution precipitation product , NOTE: it may take long time to generate for large area) In total, thunderstorms (systems with detected lightning flashes) contribute 53 %, MCSs (Mesoscale convective systems with raining area > 2000 km^2) contribute 67 % of all precipitation. Precipitation seasonal and diurnal variation Seasonal and diurnal variations of rainfall over Mozambique are shown in following figure.
