The World Bank has a handful of really great Open Data Climate Change Resources (1). Two of the resources I found particularly relevant to my study area, are the World Bank Climate Change Knowledge Portal, and Climate for Development.
The World Bank Climate Change Knowledge Portal (2-3) is a great resource for Global Climate Data. The portal covers both temperature and rainfall, but also describes climate impacts on resources including water and agriculture, and outlines vulnerabilities caused by climate, including population growth, decline, and gaps.
Climate for Development (4) is similar, but looks at projected temperature and precipitation changes by 2100. It predicts temperatures of global croplands, changes in agricultural yields and how that affects GDPs, and populations impacted by floods and drought.
Climate data specific to Namibia can be found at the Namibia Meteorological Service (5), and the Namibia Weather Network (6). Both sites have data on annual climates, as well as daily updates on active weather patterns.
The World Resources Institute, CAIT Data Explorer (7) is another great open source climate tool. In addition to climate data, this tool also focuses on global emissions data.
