Rainfall distribution in Bukoba


I found some monthly rainfall data covering about 30 years for Bukoba.  Here is a graph of the average monthly totals with those for Hamilton (Victoria, Australia) as a comparison.  You can see the high April and May totals and the sudden drop off to the relatively dry June.  Today we have had high humidity, solid cloud cover, thunder rumbling and some light showers.  Apart from that there has been no rain for nearly two weeks now.

Josiah (Jenny's colleague and owner of a fine, productive shamba) says that there will be two more big wet days in June.  Hopefully this will settle the dust so our stuff will not come home totally orange.
