Climate Change, Yes! But Why? - Lesolle

Chief meteorologist in the Department of Meteorological Services, Penny Lesolle, says though climate change is a reality, no one can deny that there are challenges in attributing the annual changes to that phenomenon.

Lesolle said this when questioned whether unavailability of rainfall in late September indicates changing weather patterns which can be attributed to climate change.

Lesolle said that the notion that rainy season begins in September is "just a popular belief". Contrary to which she said research has shown that October is a transition month from the dry cold winter months to the hot rainy summer months.
She indicated that research shows that rains should come by mid-November.
