- Western Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and a few pockets in Tanzania.
Moderate to Low Rainfall (Yellow and Orange)
- Low Rainfall (11–25 mm and 6–10 mm): These values typically ring the high-rainfall areas and transition into the driest zones. They are concentrated over:
- All countries in the GHA region.
Very Low or No Rain (Light Grey and White)
- Very Low Rainfall (1–5 mm): Forms a major transitional zone across northern Sudan, parts of Eritrea, Ethiopia, much of Somalia, northwestern and northeastern Kenya, and most parts of Tanzania.
