Whither our Weather

I have always been a bit interested in the weather--as I have always had to live with it I guess.  Above is the African continent (it is really quite big).  Quelimane is the little black dot on the south eastern side.  Our weather here always comes from the east.  It develops somewhere over the Indian ocean and moves east over the large island of Madagascar (off the eastern coast of southern Africa)--and then directly over to us in northern Mozambique.  You can see above in this most current of weather maps, that Madagascar has a system that will soon move on to us, and there is a larger one on deck, waiting to come after that.  You can see that these storms seem to spread rain through a wide belt of sub-saharan Africa.  If you will visit any of these countries, you will find that they are extremely green during the rainy season of December through April or May.
