Super Elnino season is upon us.This will be a story of rain, rain and more rain are you prepared for it?
The amount of rainfall predicted will be stupendous. So today we look at characteristics and the internal.
The predicted top performers in matters rain will be Maua town . Between now and may next year Maua town will beat it all time rainfall records of 3000mm . We expect it top 3500mm an incredible amount.
Kangeita forest station has the record of single day rainfall at 620mm and ussualy nets 2000mm of annual rain. This season there is a high probability of 800mm single day rain and 1000mm three day rain in either Mt Kenya or aberdares. We will be watching closely for record breaking rains. The stars are lining up perfectly to break long term records.
Amboni receives the highest Rainfall ever for aberdares . In 2010 sometimes in march it received 1000mm of rain in three days , we will be watching it closely to see it can break some records.
Even hitherto dry areas and arid areas will receive record rains to support a full season of maize. Tseikuru in kitui,kibwezi in makueni, ganze in kilifi, Jikaze or wiyumiririe in Nyeri , bisil in kajiado will all receive more than 500mm of rain between October and January and support a maize crop comfortably.
Super Elnino will provide both opportunities and challenges. Kila mtu ajipange sawa sawa. Here we have a policy no farmer left behind.
