By Leonard Druyan — November 2009 In recent experiments with a regional climate simulation model, we examined the effect of changes in eastern Atlantic Ocean temperatures on rainfall. In September, sea-surface temperatures (SST) reach maximums of about 28.5°C (83.3°F) along a band centered at about 7°N. A model simulation of daily weather during September 2006 near the coast of West Africa, incorporating realistic SST, generated realistic rainfall patterns.
