Kenyans have been cautioned to prepare for intense rainfall expected to pound several parts of the country in the coming days. According to the latest update from weather experts, the heavy downpour will mainly hit Coastal, Rift Valley, and Western regions, beginning mid-week and lasting for several days.
The Kenya Meteorological Department revealed that strong winds and thunderstorms will accompany the rains, raising fears of floods and landslides in low-lying and hilly areas. Residents living near rivers and flood-prone zones have been urged to move to safer grounds and stay alert for emergency announcements.
The Coast region, especially Mombasa, Kilifi, and Lamu, is expected to experience stormy weather that could disrupt transport and business operations. In the Rift Valley, Kericho, Bomet, and Nakuru counties are likely to receive heavy afternoon and evening showers, while the Western region may face continuous rainfall that could damage crops and affect road networks.
Farmers have been advised to take measures to protect their produce and livestock from the impact of the rains. Motorists have also been warned to drive cautiously as slippery roads and poor visibility could increase the risk of accidents.
Authorities are on high alert, with disaster management teams preparing to assist affected communities. The government has urged citizens to follow official weather updates and avoid spreading false information.
As the rains approach, Kenyans are reminded to remain vigilant and prioritize safety. The coming days may bring relief to areas that have experienced prolonged dry conditions, but experts warn that the intensity of the rainfall could also bring destruction if caution is ignored.
