Rainfall is expected to continue through to next Monday in several parts of the country, with the Kenya Meteorological Department warning of sustained wet conditions across multiple regions.

According to the department, the rains will mainly be experienced in Central Kenya, the South Rift Valley, South-eastern areas, the Coastal region, Western Kenya, and parts of the North-eastern region.

The Met Department says the ongoing weather pattern is likely to bring moderate to heavy rainfall in some areas, raising concerns over possible flooding, especially in low-lying and flood-prone zones.

Residents in affected regions have been advised to remain alert and take necessary precautions to minimise risks associated with the rains.

In Central Kenya and the South Rift Valley, the continued downpour is expected to support agricultural activities, although excessive rainfall could disrupt farming operations and damage crops in poorly drained areas.

Farmers are being urged to implement proper drainage systems to protect their produce.

The South-eastern region is also likely to receive significant rainfall, which may improve water availability but could pose challenges such as waterlogging and transport disruptions.

Motorists have been cautioned to exercise care on the roads due to reduced visibility and slippery surfaces.

In the Coastal region, intermittent rains are forecast throughout the period, with humid conditions expected to persist.

The Met Department has warned that heavy rainfall in some coastal areas may lead to flash floods, particularly in urban centres with inadequate drainage infrastructure.

Western Kenya, which has already been experiencing consistent rainfall, is expected to continue receiving showers, potentially intensifying in some locations.

Residents in this region have been advised to monitor weather updates closely, especially those living near rivers and other water bodies that may overflow.

Parts of the North-eastern region are also expected to receive rainfall, a relatively less frequent occurrence in the area.

While the rains may be beneficial in replenishing water sources, there is a possibility of flash floods in areas that are not accustomed to heavy rainfall.
