Abstract: A model for predicting rain rate for Nigeria climate is presented. In the formulation of the proposed model, rainfall intensities data were collected from Nigeria meteorological center and LAUTECH. The comparison results show that, in all the models considered, rain rate is underestimated for low availability range of 1.0%. The proposed model therefore, shows a significant improvement over the entire existing models considered in terms of prediction error and RMS values.
