MAINSTREAMING CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION IN AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION
The following graphs use climate information from the locations Bulawayo,
Gokwe and Matopos - if this met station is not in your area of Zimbabwe, please
use analysed met data from your area
Data analysed for Bulawayo shows that maximum temperature is going up faster
than minimum.
Because linkage between temperature and rainfall change in temperature is
likely to cause changes in rainfall but for now we are not sure.
