Forecast for the Season of March- April - May 2019

Mean March-April-May Seasonal Rainfall

KMD UPDATES: The spatial and temporal distribution of the March to May 2019 seasonal rainfall was expected to be good over most of the western sector and generally poor over the eastern sector of the country, especially in the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs). However, the existence of tropical cyclones and the unfavourable Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) patterns both in the Indian and the Atlantic Oceans are likely to result in poor distribution even over the western sector of the country. The onset of the seasonal rainfall that was expected between the third and fourth week of March 2019 over several counties in South Eastern, Coast, Central Kenya and Central Rift Valley is therefore likely to delay. However, the Tropical Cyclone “IDAI” has started decaying thus allowing moisture influx into the country.
