Africa arc2 geotiffs not available since 16 July 2024

Hi,
I’m new to this forum, and not sure whether this is the best place to ask this question, but…

I use ftp.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov to download rainfall estimate data for africa.
Specifically from this URL

https://ftp.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/fews/fewsdata/africa/arc2/geotiff/

It looks arc2 geotiffs for africa stopped getting created from 17th July 2024.
However data seems to be available in other formats after that date.

Could anyone help with this - is it an oversight?
Any help appreciated,
Ian Davies.

Hi Ian and welcome to the forum.

Your question is very specific and I don’t recall anything of that nature being discussed on the forum in the past, so I’d be surprised if you get an answer.

From what I can see, CPC say the system is operational so if there’s no data being created then I think you’re probably best contacting CPC directly to ask them.

Ok - will do.
Thanks Chris.
