The elaboration and the utilization of runoff simulation models watershed in the urban rainwater drainage networks and the functioning of an urban basin need to know the design rain taking into account the characteristics of the local pluviometry. This article intends to propose "design rain" for the urban site of Yaounde (Cameroon), located in humid tropical zone in Africa. This site presents particular hydrologic constraints different from those of urban sites in temperate countries where models of rain have yet developed.

Africa is currently the least urbanised region in the world, but this is changing fast. Of the billion people living on the African continent, about 40 per cent lives in urban areas. The urban population in Africa doubled from 205 million in 1990 to 400 million in 2010, and by 2050, it is expected that this would have tripled to 1.23 billion. Of this urban population, 60 per cent is living in slum conditions. In a time of such urban growth, Africa is likely to experience some of the most severe impacts of climate change, particularly when it comes to water and food security. This places huge pressures on the growing urban populations.
