Rainfall to continue until Friday next week - Met. department

The Kenya Meteorological Department has said that most parts of the country will continue to experience moderate to heavy rainfall for the next one week.

In a statement on Friday, the weatherman said that the regions mostly affected fall within the southern half of the country while the North-eastern and North-western Kenya will have a dry spell.

“From January 6th to 12th, 2024, expect continued rainfall in the southern half of the country, while North-eastern and North-western Kenya stay generally dry,” read the statement.

Met. further cautioned against moderate storms within the South Rift Valley and South-eastern lowlands.

“Isolated storms may occur over South Rift Valley and South-eastern lowlands. Stay weather-aware,” noted the weatherman.

The prediction by Met comes as heavy rains have been pounding many parts of the country in the past few months as a result of the El Nino phenomena.

Nairobi region witnessed heavy downpours on Friday afternoon.
