Résumé

In a Sahelian country like Burkina Faso, climate evolution can be assessed through daily rainfall data recorded at stations. The rainy season is characterized by six parameters: season onset, end of the rainy season, season duration, annual rainfall number, and daily rainfall average and annual rainfall amounts. Comparison of simulated data from five regional climate models with observed data showed some biases in the simulated data. The quantile-quantile method was used to correct biases in data from regional climate models for the period 1961-2050 based on deviations on the control period (1961-1990). The corrected data from the five regional climate models did not show the same trend regarding the future evolution of the six rainy season parameters.
