The rains at the beginning of May were heavy and prolonged;  in some instances it rained the whole night. 

We had sporadic rain for the first week of April – it was sufficient to keep the grass growing and to fill most of the seasonal water-courses but we did not have any of the extremely heavy storms that characterize the long rains. 

The long-rains started on the 15th, with widespread, but not very heavy, storms.  These showers and storms continued for the remainder of the month, making the whole of the Triangle green.

There was a heavy storm on the 1st that was followed by a massive die-off of fish near the confluence of the Mara River and a stream from Kirindon. 

We started the month with glorious, sunny weather before having a few days of local thunderstorms. 

We had a few days of exceptionally heavy rain in the first half of December.  We then had beautiful, sunny days until Christmas – then very heavy rain until the New Year.

The heavy rain at the end of October and first few days of November sent most of the wildebeest back into Tanzania. 

The weather was beautiful for the first ten days of October and then the weather changed – it started raining and we had a week of very unsettled weather before the weather cleared again for a week. 

We had heavy rain for the first two weeks of September.  Thereafter we had scattered thunderstorms – we understand that this is expected to be an El Ninõ year and that the country will be in for exceptional rains between October and December. 

August was dry, with the exception of a few days of rain towards the end of the month. 

Most of the month was dry, with the occasional thunderstorm and all-night shower. 

The rains continued throughout most of June, with steady, all-night drizzle on many occasions. 

The exceptionally heavy rains continued through most of May, compounding the damage that had been done in April and making a few sections virtually impassable. 

We had intermittent, and at times, heavy thunderstorms over the first week of April. 

The rains continued through the first week of March, with some heavy storms and prolonged showers. 

There were two days of rain on the 17/18th, just enough to settle the dust. 

For the most part January was dry, although we did have a few thunderstorms throughout the month. 

The rains started in earnest on the 9th, but the scattered thunderstorms in the first week of December were sufficient to send the wildebeest back into Tanzania. 

If we look further, we are going through a drought in many parts of the country; there is a maize shortage of ten million bags, cattle are dying in the thousands and a second pillar of our economy will suffer. 

October, was for the most part, dry, with a few isolated storms early in the month.  The
