@wolffedward @MeteoKenya As with all technology, occasionally there are glitches. The app is now back up and running.

@reussae @MeteoKenya FASTA forecasts extreme weather (storms). Light rain is not visible to the satellite, so it will not show.
The FASTA app is designed to identify storm activity over the next 1-2 hours, to help you to make short-term decisions to minimise damage, avoid disruption, and stay safe

A new Nowcasting project in collaboration with the @WMO @KulimaIDS @SAWeatherServic just in time for #WorldMetDay

[National Centre for Atmospheric Science @AtmosScience]

On #WorldMetDay, we announce our new project with African weather services.

A team led by @AtmosScience @UniversityLeeds have been awarded £2m to transform access to early weather warning systems for communities in South Africa, Zambia, and Mozambique.

A storm short-range weather models didn’t see. Breaking down how a storm over Lake Victoria could have been predicted using nowcasting. Currently, there is one tool people in Kenya can use to access real-time storm information: FASTA

The majority of Kenya is expected to experience rain this week, as predicted by @MeteoKenya

The FASTA app can assist you in making quick decisions that will minimize disruption, prevent damage, and keep you safe.

[Kenya Met Department 🇰🇪 @MeteoKenya]

The Highlands West of the Rift Valley, the Lake Victoria Basin, the Central and South Rift Valleys, the Highlands East of the Rift Valley, the Coast, and north-eastern Kenya are among the regions of the country where rain is likely. Download link https://t.co/v9l5lCzKQz.

[FASTA @FASTAweather]

For instance, being aware of an impending storm could give you enough time to:
- cover crop harvests
- delay spraying crops with pricey pesticides that might wash away
- inform a revised transport schedule to avoid delays
- avoid fishing in potentially fatal conditions
