Kenyans have been advised to remain alert as several parts of the country are expected to experience afternoon thunderstorms accompanied by heavy rainfall, lightning, and strong winds.
The Kenya Meteorological Department has indicated that although many regions will experience sunny intervals during the day, changing weather conditions could trigger localized storms in different counties later in the afternoon.
Residents have been urged to stay updated with official weather forecasts and take necessary precautions, especially those living in areas prone to flooding, strong winds, and sudden weather changes.
According to weather experts, the current pattern is common during this season, where clear morning skies are followed by increased heat that contributes to the development of clouds and afternoon showers.
The expected thunderstorms could affect transport, outdoor activities, and normal daily routines. Motorists have been advised to exercise caution on roads during heavy rains due to reduced visibility and slippery surfaces.
Farmers and communities depending on weather conditions have also been encouraged to monitor updates closely as rainfall patterns can influence agricultural activities.
The Kenya Meteorological Department has continued to provide regular updates through its official communication platforms, including details on counties likely to receive rainfall.
Authorities have encouraged Kenyans to avoid ignoring weather warnings, particularly during thunderstorms, as lightning strikes and strong winds can pose serious risks to people and property.
While many areas may enjoy sunny conditions for part of the day, residents are reminded that weather conditions can change quickly, making preparedness essential.
Kenyans have therefore been advised to keep monitoring official forecasts and remain cautious as the country experiences changing weather patterns.
