Short summary
Rainfall causes material damage and human losses in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, every year. This study shows that the period of the 60 wettest days of the long rainy season is more exposed to the risk of flooding than the rest of the year because the rains are more spatially extensive and heavier. The increase in the number of floods in recent years is probably due to the recovery of rainfall after the drought of the 80s associated with the sharp increase in urbanization of the District.
