Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Kenya Met Department has said some parts of the country will continue to experience heavy rains for the next seven days.<\/p>\n

Kenya Met said the Southern half of the country will experience heavy rains while the North Eastern and North Western parts will continue to be dry.<\/p>\n

“From January 6th to 12th, 2024, expect continued rainfall in the southern half of the country, while North-eastern and North-Western Kenya stay generally dry,” Kenya Met stated.<\/p>\n

“Isolated storms may occur over South Rift Valley and South-Eastern lowlands. Stay weather-aware.”<\/p>\n

The forecast came on the very day Nairobi and some parts of the country experienced heavy rainfall.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Environment and Forestry weather outlook for January 2024 indicates that Highlands East of the Rift Valley and Central Kenya which includes are likely to experience occasional rainfall with some breaks during the month.<\/p>\n

The rainfall is likely to be near to above the long-term average amounts received during the same month in other years.<\/p>\n

During the just-ended October-November-December Seasonal Rainfall, some counties were among the counties that were affected by landslides and mudslides.<\/p>\n

In Kiambu, several houses were destroyed by a mudslide in Site village and two people were also killed in Riara village after a mudslide buried their house.<\/p>\n

Bernard Chanzu on behalf of the Director of Kenya Meteorological Department, named the potential impacts likely to be experienced this month in areas of agriculture and food security, water resources, and the environment sectors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sunny and dry weather conditions to be experienced in the next three months will be favourable for crop harvesting as well as land preparations in readiness for the coming planting season in the agricultural areas. The public is encouraged to seek guidance from the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Intergovernmental Authority on Development Climate Prediction and Applications Center, said the greater part of the Horn of Africa is expected to receive heavy rains between January and March 2024, with the weather pattern following recent El Nino rains.<\/p>\n
