Practice question
How does the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) affect aviation weather patterns across Kenya during the transition periods (typically October-December and March-May)?
- It brings heavy convective activity, widespread thunderstorms, and low-level wind shear due to converging air masses.
- It creates extremely stable, dry air masses resulting in prolonged radiation fog and clear skies.
- It causes strong, persistent westerly gale-force winds and low-altitude jet streams across the Rift Valley.
- It has negligible impact on weather due to Kenya's proximity to the equator.
Answer: A — It brings heavy convective activity, widespread thunderstorms, and low-level wind shear due to converging air masses.
