Climate

This is a climate chart for Nairobi, Kenya. This is the capital in case you didn't know. Here it shows us the max average temperature in Celsius and the average rainfall in mm. I will convert those figures into Fahrenheit and Inches. First is Jan 75.2 Degrees F and average rain fall is  1.9685 inches. Feb is 78.8 and 1.77165. March 78.8 and 2.95276. April 73.4 F and 6.69291inches. May 71.6 Degrees F and 5.11811 inches of rain. June is 69.8 and 0.984252 in. July is 68 degrees Fahrenheit and 0.393701 inches of water. August is the same as July. September 73.4 F and 0.984252 Inches. Oct is 75.2 F and 1.5748 inches. November is 71.6 Degrees Fahrenheit and 5.11811 inches of water. December is 73.4 Degrees Fahrenheit and 2.95276 inches of water. So that is all.

Vegetation

So that is the Vegetation chart I will use. As you can see coffee is grown all over in Kenya. Actually Kenya is known for its wonderful coffee. I even like it in fact. My dad travels to Kenya all the time and he usually picks up 4 pounds of coffee. My parents love their coffee. Also cattle is grown in many places. Even though Kenya is not known for its cattle it's biltong (Jerky) is really good! They aren't known for their tea but I am a tea lover. So tea is up next. Now their tea is great but not the best in the world. If you ask me I would say Darjeeling is my favorite. But they don't grow Darjeeling their so my favorite is probably the black tea.

In some places like in the picture to the right there is bits of desert. Here there is little vegetation. The desert is actually spreading which is called desertification. Desertification is a type of land degradation in which a relatively dry land region becomes increasingly arid, typically losing its bodies of water as well as vegetation and wildlife. Well as it said there it kills vegetation which sometimes results in less crops and things. If the desertification keeps going it will kill many crops.

People

Kenya has about 44,153,000 million people. It is 7th in population in all of Africa after Nigeria, Ethiopia, Egypt, Congo, South Africa and Tanzania... all in that order. Some are very cultural  as seen on the right. They are darkly skinned people and I am not trying to be resist at all. In fact I actually think it is very beautiful. There is a saying: when I am born I am black, When I am in the sun I am black, when I am having troubles breathing I am black, When I am sick I am black. Now when you are born you are white, when you are in the sun you are pink when you are having troubles breathing you are blue, when you are sick you are yellow yet you call me colored.
Anyways the people of Kenya have roughly 40 different ethnic groups. That is a lot of ethnic groups.
Approximately 70% of Kenyans are Christians (38% Protestant, 28% Catholic). 6% are Muslims.


Trivia


That is Kenya's National Anthem... Beautiful isn't it. Lets start of easy today I will be doing about 100- 200 words here so lets start. Kenya has a hue population of approximately 44 million people. This estimate is from July 2012 which means it probably has even more than that. Kenya covers a massive 581,309 km2 which is 224,445 mi2. Africa its self holds 30,221,532 km2 or 11,668,599 sq mi of the earths surface which means that is about 1.924% of Africa's land mass. It also has 3.84% of the population. The flag looks like this:
It is quite a nice flag I must say. It really pops out. It is called the Bendera ya Kenya which is in the national language of Swahili it translates to Flag ya Kenya. The symbolism of all the four colors is  black which represents the people of the Republic of Kenya. Also red which is for the blood shed during the fight for Kenya's independence. Green is for the country's landscape and the white accents were added later to symbolize peace and honesty. It is a wonderful Country!
