What is the weather like in Kenya?

What is the weather like? Is it really hot all the time? These are questions that people in England ask me about living in Kenya. Me I like the weather here because it rains nearly every day but it is still hot. When it rains it rains really hard but only for a short time. But it never rains all day like it does in England. 
I took these pictures to try and show how much it rains. When it stops raining the ground dries quickly because it is hot. I am also going to do a weather study. So I made a rain gauge to monitor how much it rains each day.

This is the bottle that I used to make the rain gauge.
First I cut it in half with the big scissors.

Then I put the top part of the bottle upside down  in the other half of the bottle with mummy, to make a funnel.

Thirdly I Wrote on the  numbers with a ruler. This will show how many centimetres of rain collect inside the bottle.

Now it is finished!
I will put it in the garden and record how much rain falls each day.  I also plan to reord the temperature each lunchtime.🙂🤗
I will post the results soon.🌄🌈
