The Kenya Meteorological Department has warned Kenyans to brace themselves for more rains across the country starting Tuesday.
Rainfall is expected to continue over the highlands east and west of the Rift Valley, the Lake Victoria Basin, the Rift Valley, the South-eastern lowlands, and the Coast from December 5 to December 12.
North-eastern and north-western Kenya are expected to be generally dry.
At the same time, isolated storms and heavy rainfall are expected in parts of the Highlands east and west of the Rift Valley, the Lake Victoria Basin, and the southern lowlands.
Temperatures of more than 30 degrees Celsius are expected to be experienced over much of the Coast, North-eastern, and North-western Kenya regions.
“Some parts of the Highlands East of the Rift Valley will experience low average night-time (minimum) temperatures of less than 10oC,” the Met Department said.
