Where this data comes from

Perimeters come from GWIS (Copernicus, CC BY 4.0), rebuilt from heat detections, and municipal boundaries from geoBoundaries/geoBoundaries, Knippenberg, Erwin, & Moritz, Meyer. “The Hidden Potential of Mobile Phone Data Insights on COVID-19 in the Gambia.” The World Bank Data Catalog (Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0)). The area per municipality is computed by WorldFires by crossing both. The forecast is from Open-Meteo (CC BY 4.0).
