The heavy rains are finally over, but the El Niño phenomenon is not as its effects and those of climate change will stay with the country for the coming months and even years, the weatherman has said, according to a report by Nation Media Group. Apart from the Lake Victoria Basin, highlands west of the Rift Valley, Central and South Rift Valley, which are still experiencing minimal volumes of rain in between sunny intervals – a condition that will last till mid-February – the rest of the country has dried up but will continue to experience huge weather swings.
This is so as effects of climate change continue ravaging the whole world with a general rise in temperature being experienced in most countries. In South Africa, soaring temperatures have led the region to experience one of its worst droughts in recent history. The year 2015 was named the hottest in world history.
