A Kenyan farmer "planted blindly" in a changing climate. Then a weather app came to his rescue.

From @npr: "For years, [Stephen Nzioka] applied the lessons of his ancestors to his fields. He’d plant in the fall during the rainy season, and he’d harvest a few months later at the start of the dry season. But in the last five or six years, the weather patterns shifted, largely due to a changing climate. Nzioka had no way of knowing when it would rain." But now he gets weather information from a nonprofit called Tomorrow Now.
