2.2.1 TZAINrALL .. 2 2 CLIIIATE The rainfall for the 3 years during which this work was carried out in given in Table 2*2*lo A climate diagram showing rainfall and temperature is given in Figure 2o2,1. The mean annual rainfall at Wkva is 1,175 mm (GhiaQu and Wood 1976)e The annual rainfall for 1977 (I(Y*O. o mm) and 1978 (995*2 WM) were both below this figure. Two-thirds of the rain falls in Mays Junel July and Septemberg with 2 years In 3 having a double peak rainfall regime with a drop in rainfall In August (Valette 1973)e This 2-peak pattern was followed In 1977 and 1973, with the rains in 1973 building up carliere The start of 1979 appeared different with rains in April followed by a reduction in May (Fig* 1_e2*l)9 There Is a pronounced wet and dry season with the dry season beginning October/November and ending Harch/Aprile 41.
