Kwani you invest in one counter?

Watu wa T.A ndio watu wa kurukaruka from 'counter' to 'counter'. Ladies, please steer clear from hisah, QW, sentinel prime, and the likes!

Something must have gone wrong with the atmospheric system. Hii mvua ime~extend saana bana. I'm in a wedding n the bride looks like a military cadet straight from a punishment.

What a blessing. At least there will be food during the election period and so people will not vote with their stomachs

The rains could lead to an outbreak of Rift Valley Fever. Last time 155 people died.

Should we blame meteorological department for poor equipment used to forecast the climate or weather or blame ourselves for poor environmental management??

Sad
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

The meteorological department yesterday issued a food shortage, water & pasture warning due to delayed short rains.As an agricultural driven economy this is not the best news add to that the uncertainity on the ICC ....


@Josimar please asssist us with the link on the meteoroligal information that you have posted/ quoted.


Outlook for the 2013 “Short Rains” (October-November-December
(OND)) season
The Climate Outlook for the 2013 “Short Rains” (October-November-December (OND)) season indicates that much of the country is likely to experience depressed rainfall. This will mainly be driven by the cooling of the Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) in the western Equatorial Indian Ocean adjacent to the East African coastline coupled with warmer than average SSTs in the eastern Equatorial Indian Ocean adjacent to Australia (the so called negative Indian Ocean Dipole – IOD). The distribution of the rainfall in time and space is expected to be generally poor over most places in the country.

5. POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF THE OND 2013 RAINS
5.1 Agriculture, Fisheries, Livestock Development and Food Security Sectors
Generally near-normal rainfall is expected over most agricultural areas of the country. It is also
expected that the rainfall will be poorly distributed. The poor distribution may impact negatively
on the agricultural activities in most of the areas. Food security is expected to deteriorate
especially in the eastern sector of Kenya during the October-December period. Farmers are
advised to liaise with the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries for advice on
appropriate crops to plant and the crop management practice to undertake.
Foliage and pasture conditions in the pastoral areas of Northern, Northwestern and Northeastern
Kenya are expected to deteriorate as a result of the expected poor rainfall performance during
the season. Pastorolists should, therefore, seek advice from the livestock sector to avert any
loss of their animals.

Green house farming is the way to go in this current climate..
Since the land in Kiambu and environs is turning into real estate. the drier, further areas of Kajiado and Machakos will be the bread basket for the city..
Nobody wants to live there much.. but we can farm there..


I still get this calls from shags of my old folks waiting for the rains so tuma pesa ya kupanda, kutengeneza shamba, kulipa wafanyikazi.. but have never heard of 'tumevuna ya kutosha'. Im thinking of a greenhouse for them as well.
