As December marks the end of October-November-December rain season, there has been witnessed massive crop failure in Kitui county. This was due to prolonged dry spells as well as generally poor distribution of rainfall.
The Kenya Meteorological Department reiterates that the cessation of short rains in the county remains either the third or fourth week of December. This has been further corroborated by the weekly weather forecast where Daniel Mbithi, the County Director of Meteorological Services said, "most parts of the county will be sunny and dry with a possibility of morning rains as well as afternoon and night showers over a few places".
As for the month of December, the Met Department says that most parts of the county are likely to experience near average to below average (generally depressed) rainfall.
