Abstract
Using 14 variables combining rainfall occurrence/non-occurrence and so il moisture, 8 relatively homogeneous regions relevant to rainfed agri culture in Sierra Leone are defined. The regions do not simply reflect patterns of either mean annual rainfall or numbers of raindays. For e ach region, the basic characteristics are described and representative stations are chosen.
