Researchers at Kenyan universities were faced with a problem: the weather forecasts that they were providing weren’t being taken seriously.

But then they started to notice striking similarities between their predictions and those of the rainmakers. Were they really forecasters? Were they really meteorologists? And can they make it rain?
