Annual rainfall reconstruction for northern (region 1), central (region 2), and southern (region 3) Malawi derived from historical documentary sources. CR indicates confidence rating from highest (3) to lowest (1); a value of 0 indicates insufficient evidence to generate a classification. Inset shows average rainfall for Blantyre and Zomba Agricultural College downloaded from the GHCN database; note that data are not available for these stations for 1893–1895. El Niño years are also indicated.
