Kenya to launch its first localised weather modelling 'Climate Atlas' next year which will provide key data on climate change and its impact on crop production across the East African nation in the decades to come.
Developed at Kenya's Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology the Atlas will provide projections on rainfall and temperature patterns across Kenya said the researchers.
John Wesonga, the lead developer said there was countless global climate modelling system available, but in Kenya, none provided localised data for over a long period.
He said model will provide us with future scenarios of what the weather patterns will be like at a county-level in Kenya.
Adding further he said we are looking for data such as in which locations will we can detect highest and lowest temperature and rainfall, what time of year they will happen, and how long they will last.
It's expected that the Climate Atlas to be launched in Kenya in March next year. This kind of model was first developed in the Netherlands and is used by provincial authorities for planning purposes. It is also being developed for Bangladesh and Indonesia.
