Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rains of the Nile Basin in 1904 From Uganda and British East Africa the very valuable rainfall data are communicated monthly by the Directors of the Scientific Departments by the permission of the Colonial Office. In order to understand properly the seasonal variation of the rainfall, the relative positions of the equatorial low pressure belt and the high pressure areas to the north and south of it at different seasons must be borne in mind. In this central low pressure area there is an ascensional movement of the air, so that its moisture is condensed to form clouds and rain. As the air flows upwards and outwards, its place is taken by air which flows in from the high pressure areas to the north and south, as north-easterly and south-easterly trade winds. This ascensional movement is most marked where the heating effect of the sun is greatest, and this will be where the sun is in the zenith at noon.
