WELCOME TO KENYA METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY
The Kenya Meteorological Society (KMS) was registered in 1987, as a non-profit making professional/scientific society, in a bid to promote the understanding of meteorology and its applications, among other functions, in Kenya and beyond. During its short span of existence, the Society has undertaken its duties with dedication.
The Society is set to attain its goals by facilitating communication of important findings, which contribute towards the advancement of meteorological knowledge to Kenyans and the global community at large. In this regard it is the policy of the Society to encourage research in Meteorology and other related sciences; organize local and international Meteorological workshops, conferences, symposia; introduce public education; and, sensitize the public on the important aspects of Meteorology such as drought, desertification and climate change.
Vision of the Society:
To be a world class Society in promotion of the Science of Meteorology and its Applications in Socio-economic sectors that spur growth and development.
Mission of the Society:
“To advance meteorological and related sciences and their applications and maintain its position as a regional professional and learned society in order provide leadership for all in the weather, climate and related fields.”
OUR OBJECTIVES
1. Collect, register, analyze and from time to time publish proceedings which have contributed to the progress of meteorological knowledge.
2. Offer facilities for communicating important discoveries which contribute towards advancement of meteorological knowledge.
3. Collect and maintain a valuable library of scientific works and charts which will be accumulated constantly.

Climate change has become of the world’s major issue today. The earth’s climate is always changing in a very fast and also in different ways. Climate changes affect our lives psychologically, emotional and also physically. Climate change is defined as a long term change in the earth’s climate, especially a change due to the increase in the average atmospheric temperatures. Due to this change in temperature, a lot of changes has occurred in our environment, these changes include rising sea levels, flooding, melting of polar ice caps, hotter days, colder nights and heat waves. These climate changes plays an important role in shaping our natural ecosystem, our human economics and also the most important, it affects the human race. For

There are many causes and consequences of climate change discussed throughout this Encyclical. One of the most important would be the extreme weather. “In recent decades this warming has been accompanied by a constant rise in the sea level and, it would appear, by an increase of extreme weather events, even if a scientifically determined cause
Measurement approach- taking a range of temperatures over time, reading and observing the situation, also to assess the situation by getting expect advice and suggestions. Taking the maximum and minimum weather conditions implementing a plan based on this information. Triggering an evacuation alarm.
Furthermore, this analysis must take place amidst serious gaps in the existing research and technology concerning the developing climatic conditions. For these reasons, global warming stands as one of the most daunting policy issues facing our world today. This is compounded by the debate over the very existence of climate change. While countless sources of empirical evidence testify to the very real presence of climate change the world over, considerable denial of the phenomenon still exists. The argument has been made that evidence of climate change is a gross overstatement, or in some cases, a complete fabrication.
Kenya has a humid type of climate with little temperature variation from month to month. The average annual temperature along the coast is 27 degrees celcius, but in Kenya Highlands it is only 14 degrees celcius. About three-fourths of Kenya recieves less than 500ml of rain a year. Most rain fall occurs during the “long rains” from March to May.
