In Kenya, things are not going so well as far as climate is concerned. We were supposed to have our long rain season starting this March but it has hardly rained yet. Our seasons are: i) hot and dry - December to February ii) long rains - March to May iii) cold season - June to August iv) short rains - September to November Because of climate change, these seasons have shifted. Long rains are now occurring in the cold season and they're mostly in the form of flash floods instead of a satisfactory rain period. The hot season is also much much hotter and the cold season is much colder. Because of this, we're experiencing food and water shortage. There are mitigating measures that have been put to effect as we try to battle climate change but it is expected that, all over the world, things will get worse. What effects of climate change are you seeing in your country?
