Explanation

Brick-making kilns in Arusha have the following seasonality:

March to August (autumn and winter)
are the seasons for brick-laying and kiln-construction,

October and November (spring)
are the months for brick-baking.



Once the bricks are baked and extracted for building houses by the middle-class people, the old kilns are destroyed. However, if the bricks are not needed immediately for construction, they are baked but left in the kiln.
