Hi Priscilla - Thanks for the report from Nairobi. I haven't seen that report, but I can confirm that El Nino likely had little to do with flooding in East Africa in May. The El Nino impact in Eastern Africa is strongest over the October–January period. Regarding Beryl, it's really difficult to attribute the strength of a single storm, and ENSO is currently neutral and so does not have much influence on global atmospheric circulation.
