  abstract = {{T}he {G}ulf of {G}uinea ({GG}) is an area where a seasonal upwelling takes place, along the equator and its northern coasts between {B}enin and {C}ote d’{I}voire. {T}he coastal upwelling has a real impact on the local yet documented biological resources. {H}owever, climatic impact studies of this seasonal upwelling are paradoxically very rare and disseminated and this impact is still little known, especially on the potential part played by the upwelling onset on the regional precipitation in early boreal summer. {T}his study shows that coastal precipitations of the {J}uly-{S}eptember period are correlated by both the coastal and equatorial sea-surface temperatures ({SSTS}). {T}his correlation results in a decrease or a rise of rainfall when the {SST}s are abnormally cold or warm respectively. {T}he coastal areas that are more subject to coastal and equatorial {SST}s influence are located around the {C}ape {T}hree {P}oints, where the coastal upwelling exhibits the maximum of amplitude.},
