Once I was also looking for data and then Finland's Matti Tukiainen helped me:
http://www.gaisma.com publishes data on
not-easy to find places like small villages in Africa and other
continents. His data are based on NASA information (Langley Research
Center Atmospheric Science data center). He says that precipitation and
wet days data are available at http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/hrg/). I do
not know comparative advantages
and disadvantages of Tukianen's data compared to other sources; to me it was
good because he had already summarized values.
