Mombasa and the coastal region at large has recorded rains that have disrupted normal activities.
Since the week kicked off on Sunday, lengthy light rains have been pounding the region which has left roads with increased traffic jam with others being rendered impassable.
Seven key areas set to receive rains in the morning hours this week as listed by the weatherman include Nyali, Shanzu, Kisauni, Mvita, Likoni, Changamwe and Jomvu.
He has warned that the coast region is set to receive increased rains throughout the week.
According to an update by the Mombasa County Meteorological Department, the region will be experiencing light rains in the morning for the whole week.
“There will be increased cloud and rain for the next three days where the levels will be one or two millimetres more in the morning, afternoon and at night,” said Edward Ngure, the county director of meteorology.
Fishermen have also been asked to beware of the strong winds in the Indian Ocean.
“There is a chance of an occasional sudden strong rush of wind at 11m/s (40km/h) and fishermen and beachgoers are advised to take extra caution when the waves are large."
The rains have affected some roads under construction and also inconveniences many motorists due to traffic build-up in most of the city roads.
“There is still the construction of the road and this is making it difficult for us to move,” said Michael Ongeri, a resident of Mikindani.
