According to the Kenya Meteorological Department, heavy rains will be received in Central Highlands, Western Kenya, Lake Victoria Basin, Rift Valley, and South-eastern lowlands until Sunday, February 2^nd.

“Rainfall is expected to continue over the Highlands East and West of the Rift Valley, the Lake Victoria Basin, the Rift Valley and theSouth-eastern lowlands during the first half of the forecast period though a few areas over Southwestern and South Rift Valley are likely to experience rainfall throughout the forecast period,” Met said in its five-day weather forecast.

It however forecasts that most parts of the Coast, North-eastern and North-western Kenya are likely to be generally sunny and dry although a few areas may experience occasional rainfall.

Many areas in Nairobi, the capital city, are grappling with flash floods, which have been attributed to the poor drainage system.
