The latest weather report says that the rains are expected to continue this week and the first week of March then take a break on the second week before resuming again.

"Generally, the rains have a 55% chance of above normal for a Long Term Mean of MAM season", said Kitui County Director of Meteorological Services Mr Daniel Mbithi.

The weatherman recommends farmers to plant Drought Tolerant Crops [DTCs] "since MAM season is not one of the best in Kitui County".
