The Kenya Meteorological Department (Kenya Met) has issued a weather alert, warning that several counties across five regions are likely to experience rainfall over the next seven days. This update is crucial for residents, farmers, and local authorities planning for the changing weather conditions.
According to the forecast, rainfall is expected in parts of the Rift Valley, Central, Western, Nyanza, and Coastal regions. The intensity will vary, with some areas receiving light showers, while others may experience moderate to heavy downpours.
The pattern is part of the ongoing seasonal changes and is expected to affect agriculture, water resources, and daily activities.
In the Rift Valley, counties including Nakuru, Bomet, and Kericho are set to receive rainfall. These areas, known for their agricultural productivity, could benefit from the moisture to boost crop growth.
Central Kenya counties such as Murang’a and Nyeri are also expected to see showers, which may support farming activities in the highlands.
The Western and Nyanza regions, including Kisumu and Kakamega, may experience rain that could affect fishing, transport, and outdoor activities.
On the Coast, counties like Mombasa and Kilifi are forecasted to get intermittent showers, offering some relief from the usual dry spells in the region.
Authorities are urging residents to stay informed through official channels and take necessary precautions, particularly in flood-prone areas.
While the rains present opportunities for farming, they also pose challenges related to road conditions, waterborne diseases, and other safety concerns.
Rainfall is expected across multiple counties over the next week. Those in Rift Valley, Central, Western, Nyanza, and the Coast are advised to plan ahead, protect crops, and exercise caution during heavy showers.
