Rain is set to return across several parts of the country, with the Kenya Meteorological Department (KMD) issuing a fresh advisory warning of showers and thunderstorms beginning tonight through to 9 pm on Monday, March 23.
According to the latest update, the anticipated rainfall will affect multiple counties, bringing a mix of light showers in some areas and heavy downpours accompanied by thunderstorms in others. The alert comes after days of unstable weather patterns that have left many regions experiencing fluctuating temperatures and occasional cloud cover.
KMD has urged residents to remain cautious, especially those living in flood-prone areas, as sudden heavy rainfall could lead to waterlogging, poor visibility on roads, and localized flooding. Motorists have also been advised to drive carefully during this period due to slippery roads and reduced visibility caused by intense downpours.
Farmers, however, may welcome the rains as a boost to ongoing agricultural activities. The March-April-May rainy season is a crucial period for planting in many parts of the country, and consistent rainfall is often seen as a positive sign for food production.
Emergency response teams are on standby in various counties to handle any incidents that may arise as a result of the changing weather conditions. Residents are encouraged to stay updated through official weather reports and to follow guidance issued by local authorities.
This development has sparked conversations online, with many Kenyans sharing mixed reactions. Some have expressed relief at the return of rain, while others remain concerned about potential disruptions.
