Welcome to Kigali - My Local Gazette. |

|
Pre-Launch
Edition.
Kigali is the Capital City of Rwanda and has a population of around 300,000 people. The Rwanda countryside is covered by grasslands and small farms extending over rolling hills, with areas of rugged mountains that extend south-east from a chain of volcanoes in the north-west. The divide between the Congo and Nile drainage systems extends from north to south through western Rwanda at an average elevation of almost 9,000 feet. On the western slopes of this ridgeline, the land slopes abruptly toward Lake Kivu and the Ruzizi River valley, which form the western boundary with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire) and constitute part of the Great Rift valley. The eastern slopes are more moderate, with rolling hills extending across central uplands at gradually reducing altitudes, to the plains, swamps, and lakes of the eastern border region. Whilst located just two degrees south of the Equator the high elevation gives Rwanda a temperate climate. Average daily temperature near Lake Kivu, at the altitude of 4,800 feet (1,463 metres) is 73o F (23o C). During the two rainy seasons (February-May and September-December), heavy downpours occur almost daily, alternating with sunny periods. Annual rainfall is about 80 centimetres (31 in.) but is generally heavier in the western and north-western mountains than in the eastern savannahs.
