AB - Anomalous Deposition and self-organizing patterns (Kohonen Networks) are two important methods for analysing the variability and growth of rainfall over the wet season. The coordinates (latitude/longitude) 13°-17° S / 44°-56° E define the area we study. Regionalization using Kohonen networks identified 20 distinct zones based on the average annual precipitation in our study region between 1980 and 2020. Anomaly accumulation tells us that the northern Madagascar monsoon season normally begins in early December and ends in early April. An average of 125 days, or about 34 months, is how long it lasts. The duration of the wet seasons has been trending downwards. However, with the exception of the eastern maritime areas of our study region, precipitation amounts have increased.
