Description
Summary:Data on different climatic elements, like monthly rainfall monthly mean relative humidity, monthly lowest relative humidity; monthly mean temperature, monthly mean maximum and minimum temperatures with their monthly extremes values and monthly mean prevailing wind speeds over Ibadan for the months of January through to December during the period of 1979 through to 2005 have been considered to study their variability and to determine the probabilistic extreme values of these elements. The probabilistic extremes values have been computed for 3 time scales: In 1 year out of 4 years, in 1 year out of 10 years and in 1 year out of 25 years- representing relative more frequent events, moderately extreme events and extreme events, respectively.
