Kenya Met Department issues a dual forecast warning of heavy downpours in the Rift Valley while sunny intervals and strong winds persist across the rest of the country.
Kenyans should prepare for a weekend of contrasting weather conditions, according to the latest advisory from the Kenya Meteorological Department. While residents in the Western Highlands and the Lake Victoria Basin are dusting off their umbrellas in anticipation of afternoon showers and thunderstorms, those in the Eastern and Coastal regions are being told to brace for scorching sun and gusty winds.
The weatherman has pinpointed counties such as Kakamega, Kisumu, Kericho, and Uasin Gishu as the epicenters of the wet spell. The rains, expected to intensify in the afternoons, could lead to poor visibility and slippery roads. Farmers in the region are viewing the forecast with mixed feelings—relief for the crops, but anxiety over potential flash floods in low-lying areas.
This fragmented weather pattern is typical of the transition periods in East Africa’s climate calendar, but the intensity of the events points to the broader influence of changing global weather systems. The Met Department has urged the public to stay updated, as conditions can change rapidly.
For the traveler this weekend, the message is clear: pack for two worlds. Whether you are heading to the rainy lushness of the Rift or the windy arid lands of the North, preparedness is key. The skies are speaking, and they are telling two very different stories.
