November 2024

Août 2024

The temperatures are seasonal, as they say, around 33 or 34°C during the day. On the last day of November, the sky was particularly cloudy, which led to this drop in temperature. At night it’s around 22 or 23°C.

One day when I was coming back from the fields I noticed that the notebook where I noted the temperatures had disappeared. I could only find a sheet that contained no indication on the statements. The children reported seeing the leaves somewhere in the distance but did not want to reveal where. I remembered the rain on November 1.

Rainfall

Septembre 2024

This rainfall encourages farmers to plant maize, some of them also planting beans. From the 21st the rains stopped, which made fear that they would not resume, according to what announced the Tanzanian weather forecast. But on December 2, they started again, with more than 500 mm in three days.
