Breathe, Nairobians, flooding will soon ease. Coast, brace for heavy rains
Water flows past ruins of houses destroyed by water after heavy flash floods wiped out several homes when a dam burst, following heavy rains in Kamuchiri village of Mai Mahiu, Nakuru County, Kenya April 29, 2024.
Sporadic rainfall and storms are also expected in the North-western Region.
The anticipated increase in rainfall, the weatherman says, is expected to have various impacts on different sectors
Kenyans can expect near-average to above-average rainfall with occasional storms in May, according to the Kenya Meteorological Department (KMD). This comes as many areas are already dealing with disruptive heavy rains and flooding.
The forecast highlights that April marked the peak of the long rains (March-April-May) season over most pockets of the country except the Coastal and Western regions where the peak is expected this month.
