According to statistics, rainfall performance hasn’t been consistent across the country. For instance, the 2021 March to May long rains were shown to have fluctuated and the Western, Central, and Southeast of Mandera counties received 91-110 percent of normal rains.

Turkana, Narok, Kitui, West Pokot, and western parts of Mandera county reported 111-140 percent of the normal amount of rains.

Considering the food sector, the Kenya Food Security Steering Group (KFSSG) has reported that the rainfall onset was timely in the western parts of the country as opposed to the eastern parts of the country.

Both livestock and crop production were affected by the poor distribution of rains which led to a low yield of farm produce.
