Investigating changes in precipitation extremes and characteristics due to climate change and variability is crucial at regional and global scales. However, many African basins lack continuous and high-quality data from ground stations. Remote sensing technology has become a valuable tool for monitoring and predicting weather patterns, including precipitation. However, the reliability of remote sensing data in capturing precipitation trends remains a topic of debate. Hence, this study aimed to investigate whether remote-sensing precipitation data can be trusted to capture annual and seasonal trends accurately.
