Climate

Climate affects sectors in society in a number of ways. These effects may be direct, as with heat stress, or indirect, as with infectious diseases such as malaria and meningitis.

This facility aims to explore and inform users about the climate-society relationship with an emphasis on the seasonal nature of that relationship, where appropriate.

Climate Analysis
Daily Precipitation Analysis
The Maproom explores historical daily precipitation by calculating simple seasonal statistics.
Daily Temperature Analysis
The Maproom explores historical daily temperature by calculating simple seasonal statistics.
Dekad Climate Analysis
Rainfall and temperature time series reconstructed from station observations and remote sensing proxies. This interface allows users to view rainfall, maximum, minimum and mean temperature dekadal climatologies and anomalies.
Monthly Climate Analysis
Rainfall time series (1981-2022) and temperature time series (1981-2022) reconstructed from station observations, remote sensing and other proxies. This interface allows users to view rainfall, maximum, minimum and mean temperature monthly climatologies and anomalies.
Seasonal Climate Analysis
Rainfall time series (1981-2022) and temperature time series (1981-2022) reconstructed from station observations, remote sensing and other proxies. This interface allows users to view rainfall, maximum, minimum and mean temperature seasonal climatologies, anomalies and probability of exceedance.
Seasonal Trend Analysis
Rainfall time series (1981-2022) and temperature time series (1981-2022) reconstructed from station observations, remote sensing and other proxies. This interface allows users to view rainfall, maximum, minimum and mean temperature seasonal trends expressed per year, over the selected period or percent of the average over the selected period.
SPI
The Standardized Precipitation Index is an indicator of extreme rainfall events, whether they are drought or excess rainfall.
Extreme Rainfall Analysis
The Maproom facilitates the exploration of the history of extreme monthly and seasonal rainfall characteristics.
Extreme Temperature Analysis
The Maproom facilitates the exploration of the history of extreme monthly and seasonal minimum and maximum temperatures.
Seasonal Rainfall Terciles conditioned on ENSO
This map shows the historical probability (given in percentile) of seasonal average monthly rainfall falling within the upper (wet), middle (normal), or bottom (dry) one-third ("tercile") of the 1981-2022 historical distribution in Kenya given the state of ENSO (El Niño, Neutral, La Niña) during that same season.
Seasonal Temperature Terciles conditioned on ENSO
This map shows the historical probability (given in percentile) of seasonal average monthly minimum or maximum temperature falling within the upper (hot), middle (normal), or bottom (cold) one-third ("tercile") of the 1981-2022 historical distribution in Kenya given the state of ENSO (El Niño, Neutral, La Niña) during that same season.
Seasonal Rainfall Terciles conditioned on IOD
This map shows the historical probability (given in percentile) of seasonal average monthly rainfall falling within the upper (wet), middle (normal), or bottom (dry) one-third ("tercile") of the 1991-2020 historical distribution in Kenya given the Terciles of IOD (Postive, Neutral, Negative) during that same season.
Seasonal Temperature Terciles conditioned on IOD
This map shows the historical probability (given in percentile) of seasonal average monthly temperature falling within the upper (hot), middle (normal), or bottom (cold) one-third ("tercile") of the 1991-2020 historical distribution in Kenya given the Terciles of IOD (Postive, Neutral, Negative) during that same season.
Climate Monitoring
Dekadal Rainfall
This Analysis tool allows users to view different presentations of the the most recent dekad.
WASP 1-month
The 1-month Weighted Anomaly Standardization Precipitation (WASP) index provides a simple visual means of extreme rainfall events for the past month, whether they are drought or excess rainfall.
WASP 3-month
The 3-month Weighted Anomaly Standardization Precipitation (WASP) index provides a simple visual means of extreme rainfall events for the past season, whether they are drought or excess rainfall.
WASP 12-month
The 12-month Weighted Anomaly Standardization Precipitation (WASP) index provides a simple visual means of extreme rainfall events for the past 12 months, whether they are drought or excess rainfall.
Monthly SPI
The Standardized Precipitation Index is an indicator of extreme rainfall events, whether they are drought or excess rainfall.
Seasonal SPI
The Standardized Precipitation Index is an indicator of extreme rainfall events, whether they are drought or excess rainfall.
Climate Forecast
Seasonal Forecast
This Maproom displays the full forecast distribution in different flavors.
Climate Change
Monthly SPI
The Standardized Precipitation Index is an indicator of extreme rainfall events, whether they are drought or excess rainfall.
Model Agreement
The level of agreement on either positive or negative change in a future time period with reference to the baseline (historical period).
Seasonal Changes
Future changes in seasonal climate with reference to a historical climatological period. Climatological period is user defined and is same in both historical and future periods. Future projections are based on the representative concentration pathways (RCPs).
