 Satellite-derived rainfall products are useful for drought and flood early warning and overcome the problem of sparse, unevenly distributed and erratic rain gauge observations, provided their accuracy is well known. Mozambique is highly vulnerable to extreme weather events such as major droughts and floods and thus, an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of different rainfall products is valuable. Three Decadal, Ten Day, Grid Satellite Rainfall Products, Tamsat African Rainfall Climatology and Time Series, Target, Version 2.0, Famine Early Warning System Network, FuseNet, Rainfall Estimate, RFE, Version 2.0, and Climate Hazards Group Infrared Precipitation with Stations, Chirps, are compared to independent gauge data, 2001 to 2012. This is done using pairwise comparison statistics to evaluate the performance in estimating rainfall amounts and categorical statistics to assess rain detection capabilities. The analysis was performed for different rainfall categories over the seasonal cycle and for regions dominated by different weather systems. Overall, Satellite Products Over.
