Re: Ocean Waves Hit the Residents
should our metro department be re-instated
Re: Ocean Waves Hit the Residents
How are the winds? If the winds are too strong and heading towards the city, then angry ocean is expected. Somalia is in the rainy gu' season, so perhaps there strong winds are contributing to it. I am not oceanic expert, so I am just throwing wild guesses.
Re: Ocean Waves Hit the Residents
Mogadishu weather is cooled by the oceanic breeze and the rain it experiences most of the year.
even Micheal Keating could nt help notice it

Seasons
Somalia experiences four distinct seasons each year but they are quite different from those experienced in North America. The dry season, known as Jilal, lasts from January to March and is followed by Gu, the season of long rains. This typically lasts between April and June. Both Hagaa, lasting from July to September, and Deyr, which takes place between October and December, are known as the seasons of short rains.
Temperatures.
Air temperatures are high throughout the year in Somalia. In the south, temperatures are at their peak between December and March, when the mercury climbs to 86 F in the areas inland, close to the borders with Kenya and Ethiopia. Temperatures at the southern coast are slightly cooler because of the ocean’s cooling effect and typically peak around 82.4 F. In the north of the country, July and August tend to be the hottest months, when temperatures can break 100 F around coastal Berbera.
Rainfall
Rainfall is highly seasonal and varies significantly across the country. The areas with most rainfall lie in the center and south, particularly the middle Shabelle which receives around 30 inches per year. Generally speaking, the climate becomes drier as you move north through the country, with the northern coastline receiving less than four inches in an average year. However, the total rainfall can vary a great deal from year to year. A 2007 study jointly funded by the European Union and the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization found that, for example, the weather station at Afgoi outside capital city Mogadishu recorded mean annual rainfall of 22.9 inches between 1963 and 1990, but with a peak of 31.49 inches in 1977
