The Kenya Meteorological Department is facing a credibility crisis after a section of Kenyans discovered Windy and Zoom Earth and began independently reviewing its forecasts. The dispute intensified after the department linked delayed October rains to Tropical Storm Agueda, triggering a nationwide peer review by citizens who had spent the week watching coloured patches move across the Indian Ocean. “Have they even checked the satellite layer?” demanded one atmospheric scientist, whose meteorological career began on Thursday. The department's decades of professional experience have done little to reassure the scientific community, which now demands that all official forecasts be independently verified against their findings. Kenya Met has since been given until the end of the month to explain why taxpayers are funding an entire department to contradict two free websites.
