Today. Events are recurring seasonal patterns, not forecasts.

Indicative reading. Pressure on households is likely to peak from September to December and from February to May, when the lean season coincides with malaria and the rainy season. No wet-season hazard, outbreak or lean season is recorded in January and from June to August, making this the likeliest window for field activities such as assessments, registration or construction.
Calendar narrative & sources

None of ACAPS's sub-national records fall within Burunga, so this calendar shows only the 20 country-wide events and matches the national pattern.

The recorded seasonal hazards are the rainy season (Sep–Dec) and the rainy season (Feb–Apr). Planting and growing periods: Main planting – Maize (Sep–Oct), Main planting – Sorghum (Sep–Oct), Main planting – Land preparation (Oct–Jan), 2nd planting – Maize (Feb–Mar), 2nd planting – Sorghum (Feb–Mar), 2nd planting – Land preparation (Mar–May) and 3rd planting – Land preparation (Jun–Aug). Harvests: the 3rd harvest (Sep–Nov), the main harvest (Dec–Feb), the main harvest – Maize (Jan–Feb), the main harvest – Sorghum (Jan–Feb), the 2nd harvest – Sorghum (Jun–Jul), the 2nd harvest (Jun–Aug) and the 2nd harvest – Maize (Jun–Jul). The lean season runs from September to December and from February to May. Disease outbreaks follow a seasonal pattern: malaria (Oct–Dec) and malaria (Mar–May).

The 20 records come from 3 sources dated 2013 to 2023. Entries more than 10 years old should be checked against current FEWS NET, FAO GIEWS or national meteorological calendars before use in planning.

Climate vulnerability assessment

Nyanza district analysis

The district profile is the most local layer of the CVA. It brings together hazard exposure, livelihood dependencies, access to basic services and displacement history for the action units, and where possible repeats the assessment across the rainy and dry seasons.

Questions the district analysis will answer

  1. Which action units face the highest combined hazard exposure and vulnerability?
  2. Which livelihoods and services are most sensitive to the seasonal calendar?
  3. Which local capacities and plans can be strengthened to prevent or reduce displacement?

Analytical dimensions

  • 1Hazard
    Sudden-onset (floods, cyclones, landslides) and slow-onset (lake-level rise, drought, degradation)
  • 2Exposure
    People, settlements, infrastructure and livelihoods in hazard-prone areas
  • 3Vulnerability
    Socio-economic sensitivity, disaggregated by sex, age and disability
  • 4Adaptive capacity
    Services, institutions, social protection and coping strategies
  • 5Displacement risk
    Combined likelihood and scale of disaster displacement
