El niño yes, El niño maybe...these days in much of Kenya have begun the first hints of the long-awaited "little rains" that then, according to local meteorologists, should not be so little.
In the capital Nairobi on Monday saw downpours that also caused some damage, especially since many works underway precisely to prevent flooding are not yet finished.

On the coast actually since August the sky has never completely stopped watering the land and nature is benefiting. Sudden and especially evening and nighttime downpours often make the ocean and beaches cleaner. Too bad there are so few tourists that we cannot appreciate the wonder of a mid-season that, we have always said, is among the best of the year.

The wind will be the big player and it will decide whether the threatening Hispanic baby clouds will cause damage all over East Africa or kindly bring the water needed for the land, farmers and ranches to breathe, that is, the right amount and distributed over the canonical 20-25 days.

Then the watering, especially in the west, between Lake Victoria and Uganda, will go on until even the New Year, waiting for the arsure that eventually, unlike the rains, nobody likes anymore, not even coastal tourists.

Experts are predicting a resurgence of bad weather in the coming days, but in the meantime, after a black Monday, Tuesday once again saw the great African sunshine overlook its people, the animals of the savannah and even the latest arrivals, the mzungu.
