The department has placed more than 40 counties under a rainfall watch, warning residents to prepare for possible showers and thunderstorms in different parts of the country. The expected weather conditions could disrupt normal activities, particularly for people travelling during the evening and night hours.
The warning comes as weather patterns continue to change across several regions, raising concerns about possible disruptions caused by rainfall. Residents have therefore been encouraged to remain alert and take necessary precautions as they go about their daily activities.
Motorists may also face challenges if heavy showers affect major roads, especially in areas where drainage systems are poor. Reduced visibility, slippery surfaces and possible water accumulation could make driving more difficult.
People living in areas prone to flooding have been advised to remain cautious, particularly when crossing rivers and streams. Flash floods can occur when rainfall becomes intense, even in locations that do not experience prolonged downpours.
The weather warning is also important for farmers and other people whose daily activities depend on outdoor conditions. Those planning evening journeys may find it necessary to carry umbrellas, raincoats and other protective items.
Although rainfall is expected in many counties, the intensity and timing may differ from one region to another. Kenyans are encouraged to follow official updates from the meteorological department rather than relying on unverified weather information circulating online.
The specific list of affected counties has been shared in the comments section for residents who want to establish whether their areas are included in the latest advisory.
