Day laborer rainfall records of the two principal stations of the zone (Kolda and Velingara) were used. This work shows a clear downward trend in the number of rainy days, a shortening of the rainy season especially during the last thirty years and a higher frequency in dry episodes throughout the extent of the rainy season. The study also shows that there is 80% probability of the rainy season beginning in the second half of June and ending during the first half of October. All the months of the rainy season are affected by dry spells with the 1968-1985 period being most seriously affected by these anomalies.
