Heavy rains cause havoc in Kenya, again

For nearly three months, day and night time temperatures across the country had reached a record high not witnessed in recent years, a phenomenon scientists attributed to global warming.

Therefore when the Meteorological Department informed Kenyans early last week that the temperatures would go down with effect from last Friday when the rains were expected to start, many hoped it was true. And indeed in one of those incidences where weather predictions become a reality, the rains came right on schedule.
