A soggy young woodpecker knocks on my window and begs for insects that I don't have. The mother birds are working hard in the constant rain at 12°C. A cat is getting dry outside the front door. Tonight the first mice fled into the houses because their burrows were flooded.

"At least 71 people have been confirmed dead and 110 people are in hospital following #floods near the town of Mai Mahiu in Kenya’s north-western Nakuru county.
#Kenya has grappled with weeks of heavy rains and devastating flash floods. "
"[The attribution study] found that #ClimateChange made the devastating rains twice as likely and 5% more intense. With further warming, the frequency and intensity of the rains would continue to increase.
Highly populated #urban areas, especially high-density informal settlements, were significantly impacted by the downpours. Torrential #rain flooded houses and roads, in some places exposing weaknesses in urban planning to meet the demands of fast-growing populations."
