Regular showers and the occasional rainstorm characterised the first half of September.  It then dried up for the remainder of the month.

We had typical August weather with sunny days and occasional thunderstorms in the evening. 

July was the driest since we started operations in the Mara – one very local storm near Ngiro-are and one or two showers in the West and South of the Triangle. 

We had two days of heavy rain just before the full moon on the 10th.  We then continued to have sporadic showers for a few days before the dry season set in. 

There were scattered showers and one or two storms throughout the month, this was sufficient to keep the grass green. 

The first half of the month was extremely wet with heavy rainstorms on a daily basis. 

There was heavy and widespread rain for the last three weeks of April, thoroughly soaking the ground and severely damaging the road from Oloololo Gate to Mara Serena. 

There were heavy and widespread storms in the last week of March, signalling the onset of the long rains. 

There were some sporadic storms throughout the first three weeks, thereafter the weather was wonderfully warm and clear, with hot sunny days and cool clear nights.

The heavy rains experienced at the end of December continued through the first ten days of January, with some areas receiving as much as 350 mm (14 inches) of rain during the whole period. 

There were heavy and widespread rain storms in the last ten days of December, one storm washed a vehicle over the Sabaringo lugga, near Kichwa Tembo, and nearly washed away a culvert between Kichwa and Oloololo Gate. 

There were several scattered storms in early November.  We then had two weeks of comparatively dry weather before some heavy and widespread rain in the last week.

The first three weeks of October were dry – we then had heavy rain for a few days.  It would appear that the rains are starting reasonably early this year, usually an indication that wew are in for heavy and sustained rains.

There were some heavy rain storms and scattered showers over the whole Triangle from the 3rd until the end of the month. 

There was heavy rain over the whole Triangle on the 11-12th and again in the last week of August.  This was most welcome on the burnt areas and has led to a strong green flush of grass.

The Chief Executive resumed on the 26th June after an absence of three and a half months. 

This report covers the period from 1st to 12th March 2004.

Several nights of steady rain have turned the whole Triangle green and filled most of the water courses.

There was some widespread, albeit light rain in the first week of December that concentrated the wildebeest in the western half of the Triangle.
