According to KMD, the weather pattern is influenced by seasonal changes and atmospheric disturbances that have increased moisture levels over parts of Kenya. The department emphasizes the importance of preparedness, especially for communities in low-lying and flood-prone areas.
Among the counties flagged for possible flooding are those with historical vulnerability due to their geographical features and drainage challenges. Residents in these areas are encouraged to stay alert and follow advisories issued by local authorities and emergency services.
The government and disaster management teams are already mobilizing resources to mitigate the impact of the rains.
Measures include clearing drainage channels, reinforcing riverbanks, and setting up early warning systems to ensure timely communication with the public.
This forecast serves as a reminder of the critical need for continuous monitoring of weather changes and community engagement in disaster risk reduction. It also highlights the role of climate resilience initiatives in reducing the adverse effects of such natural events.
