Kenya Issues Heavy Rainfall Alert for Nairobi and 30 Other Counties

Kenya’s meteorological service warned that more than 20 mm of rain is expected from October 24 to 30 across several regions, including Nairobi and the Coast, Northeastern, Western, Rift Valley, Central and Southeastern areas. Winds exceeding 46 km/h are also forecast, particularly in coastal, eastern and northern regions. Residents were urged to watch for flash floods, including downstream and in places that have not experienced heavy rain, while maritime users were advised to take care as waves over two metres are expected on October 25. The alert comes as the El Niño-enhanced October-November-December rainy season has been delayed in several regions.
