A series of exceptionally heavy rainstorms at the beginning of November flooded large sections of the Triangle and raised the river levels to the highest since December 2006 – the highest on record. 

A series of exceptionally heavy rainstorms at the beginning of November flooded large sections of the Triangle and raised the river levels to the highest since December 2006 – the highest on record. 

The heavy rains continued into early October.  The weather then cleared and we had three weeks of glorious, sunny weather, interspersed with one or two days of rain – that is, until the 26th, when we had some exceptionally heavy storms and sustained rain for three days. 

August and September have been exceptionally wet in the Triangle.  This seems to have been the case throughout much of western Kenya, certainly West of Mount Kenya and the North Rift. 

We had several days of heavy and widespread rain, starting around the full moon in mid-August and continuing until the end of the month. 

We had a few heavy thunderstorms in the first week of July – more than enough to keep the grass green. 

The Mara Conservancy has been in the Mara for 10 years! – 12th June was our tenth anniversary.

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.
