Nyandarwa, Kenya // embed media
Reports steming from the East African country are confirming the occurence of a phenomena - snow in Nyandarwa District of Central Kenya. I am Kenyan, born and raised. This is the first time snow has fallen on this part of the country. Infact, the only place snow occurs in Kenya is on the top of the second talest mountain in Africa, Mount Kenya. Most Kenyans have never seen snow. I don't know if we can attribute this to global warming but something is certainly going on. Let me reitrate, it has NEVER snowed in Kenya before as far as I know except on the tip of Mt. Kenya. Check out the links below from news sources right in the heart of this warm tropical country.
