Although climate information services have the potential to strengthen farmers' resilience, barriers to accessibility, affordability and utilisation remain . Often the information offered is not consistent with what farmers need to know and how they access and process information . Production of salient and credible climate information is hindered by the limited availability of and access to weather and climate data . The existing weather infrastructure remains suboptimal to enable the development of reliable early warning systems . Of the 1017 land-based observational networks in the world, only 10% are in Africa, and 54% of Africa's surface weather stations cannot capture data accurately .
