You are right. The rains come about 1 week after the equinox.

They need to stop copy&pasting last years weather reports and give proper forecasts. And the clustering "Sunny intervals expected over a few places" Yet weather stations exist. Anyway!

I am looking at the current real time satellite image showing current rainfall status in the region and there is no way rains will start today or tmr or 1st march as the met guy is saying. The only places currently raining as per the satellite image as I am typing this are malaba and kisii, and their rain is mostly convectional rain from lake victoria. The long rains are due to the south easterly monsoon winds and hakuna dalili ya mvua any time soon.

This is the current real time world rainfall satellite image and as you can see, the ITCZ is still moving north and hasn't reached kenya. It will reach kenya maybe the next 2 or 3 weeks thus my prediction that rains will start proper in 2-3rd week of march. The weatherman should contact me for advice on matters rainsmile.

For those who do not know what the beast ITCZ is, they can be schooled here:
