i am met guy and i think that its a blessing ONLY for people in the arid areas. its going to increase rainfall by 10x and that is scary for people in the wet areas so you cannot celebrate i don't think the counter will really gain anything. on the upside though Masinga dam will be reopened and Nairobians will see and end to rationing and yah many people will die and others will suffer from weather related diseases.

If this is the case,then to me it's a big blessing. The reason is,I come from an arid area and the last time this area got enough rainfall was like 5 years ago,that is 2004ish. Folks there depend only on farming,and you know what that means kama mvua hakuna. In 1997/8 El Nino,the economy of the area was just good for the next 2-3 years. The enviromnemt was suberb for everything,name it.

So if we could have another El Nino,then good for those folks,they have being dying of hunger,the gava doesnt give a hoot at all. There is piped water,the road infrastructure is a whack. That rainfall will saidia sana,naomba tu sana for it to come!!

@ fundament ali
you forgot
rain- more weather related illnesses
rain- erosion of poorly constructed roads
rain- more floods and maybe more death
look on both sides my guy

@kyt

How many people died in the last three days over fights for grazing land,water points and cattle rustling? Lack of rain leads to increased conflict and crime in the arid and semi arid areas.
