Prepare for Heavy Rainfall: Kenya Met Issues Yellow Warning to Residents in These Regions – Details

Kenyans in 18 counties have been warned to expect rainfall from Thursday night to Friday, following a new weather forecast from the Kenya Meteorological Department.

The forecast also highlights strong winds in three counties, calling for extra caution among residents and people planning to travel during the affected period.

The weather update comes as Kenyans prepare for Friday activities, including travel to work, school journeys and other outdoor engagements. Residents in the affected areas are advised to keep track of official weather updates and make plans based on the expected conditions.

Rainfall can affect movement on roads, especially in areas where heavy showers lead to slippery surfaces or poor visibility. Motorists are therefore encouraged to drive carefully, reduce speed when necessary and avoid crossing flooded sections of roads.

Pedestrians should also take care when walking in areas prone to flooding. People living near rivers and other flood-prone locations should remain alert to changing weather conditions and follow advice from local authorities.

The warning about strong winds is equally important, particularly for people working outdoors, farmers and those living in areas with weak structures. Residents should secure loose items around their homes and avoid standing under unstable trees or structures during strong winds.

Farmers may also need to monitor the forecast when planning outdoor activities and protecting crops or livestock.

Kenya Met regularly issues weather forecasts to help the public prepare for changing conditions. However, rainfall amounts and local weather conditions may vary from one area to another.

Residents are encouraged to check the department’s official updates for the specific counties expected to receive rain and those likely to experience strong winds.

As the forecast covers Thursday night through Friday, Kenyans are urged to remain informed and take sensible precautions while going about their daily activities.
