As the much-awaited OND rainy season draws nearer, medium and short range forecasts are progressively aligning with the long range forecasts we started sharing back in May.
An expansive low pressure zone of deep atmospheric convection, thunderstorms & open sea precipitation has been developing in the Central & Western Indian Ocean over the last three weeks. This is a pointer to a developing +ve IOD coupled with a strong El Nino and favorable conditions setting up for an early onset of significant rains across Eastern Africa in the coming weeks.
All global models are in agreement that this convective belt will expand exponentially this month and propagate Westward towards the Horn of Africa.
Any time from from 10th to mid- Sept Southern Somalia, and the #Kenyan Coastal strip may receive significant pre-seasonal rains from this slow-moving low pressure system. Some locations deep in the Indian Ocean may receive as much as 300mm-500mm in the next few days.
Per some individual North American models, onset of seasonal rains starts in Somalia, Mandera, Wajir & Marsabit in the 1st week of Oct. Some erratic showers may fall in the Rift, Western & Nyanza later this month. The rest of KE is likely to see onset of the OND rains from Mid-October with increased intensity from late Oct onwards.
[WATCH] Police are currently arresting one of their own this morning in Secunda, Mpumalanga. It's part of a takedown operation targeting suspects allegedly linked to the hijacking of diesel trucks in the province. The officer was arrested as he arrived for duty. @NqobileMadlala_ is there.

Kenya would have formed a Commission of Inquiry chaired by some old retired corrupt individuals from one tribe, give the report after two years then end up giving the tender to one of the president's companies to loot
@Ngugi_Gitauu@StandardKenya Nope that video recording must have saved. Masinga dam was the dumping site then the call came from above. Kenya and Yemen same WhatsApp group.
Opening and closing hours for bars and clubs is up to the proprietors. What we will not tolerate is any form of fighting and violence. Otherwise, Ugandans are entitled to enjoy themselves.
@HonMoses_Kuria I always say this is where the rain started beating this government. As a country you don't joke with Healthcare, Education and Security of a citizen
