Rainfall Warnings in Several Counties
The forecast highlights that counties such as Bungoma, Kisii, Kericho, Kisumu, Nyamira, Migori, Nyeri, Nyandarua, Trans Nzoia, and Nairobi may experience rainfall events. These areas should prepare for potential disruptions caused by the anticipated weather changes, including possible flooding and transportation delays.
In addition, intermittent cool and cloudy weather is expected in counties like Embu, Kiambu, Kirinyaga, Laikipia, Meru, Murang'a, Nairobi, Nyandarua, Nyeri, Tharaka-Nithi, Kitui, Machakos, Kajiado, and Makueni.
