Short rains season to end in third or fourth week of December

Further,  the weatherman said that the season has been harsh for our farmers who depend on it for increased food security.  This is because most parts of the county did not receive sufficient rains to guarantee adequate harvests. 

"Most parts of the county are likely to experience near average to below average (generally depressed) rainfall", the Kitui met boss said.

The December dry spell will be exacerbated by continued dry conditions that came to define November. Generally, most parts of Kitui county experienced moderate to extremely dry conditions throughout the month", said Dr Daniel Mbithi.  This, was not enough to make farmers reap anything meaningful as the season comes to an end.

Temperature conditions will remain warmer than average for the rest of this week,  the Kenya Meteorological Department notes.  The maximum temperature range will oscillate between 25°C to 34°C while the minimum temperature range is expected to be from 15°C to 22°C.
