A failure of the Vuli rains (rainy season in October, November, and December in north-east Tanzania) can be a trigger for a severe drought (e.g. 2009 and 2011) with significant impacts on the livelihoods of the affected regions. The current season starts off from a drought year 2016 and has started with poor Vuli rains and a tendency towards a La Niña event. All hopes now rely on the second rainy season (Masika).
