The analysis of the cross-relation between the time series of the annual mean value of sunspot number Rz with: (a) The annual value of the maximum Nile flood for the period (1748-1914), (b) The annual value of the difference of the old water and maximum Nile flood for the same period are carried out. Also, the direct and the cross-correlation between the annual mean value of Rz with the following have been done: (a) The annual value of rainfall in mm of Addis Ababa at Ethiopian high lands for the period (1900-1959), (b) The annual value of the discharge of Albert lake (one of the white Nile sources) for the period (1904-1957), and The annual value of the Nile discharge at Aswan (in Egypt) in 109 m3, for the period (1870-1960). The results indicate that the direct correlation coefficients are weak. But the cross-correlation show close to the eleven-year cycle of the sunspots.
