Marsabit and Isiolo are among counties that will receive heavy rainfall this week as the Meteorological Department warns of flooding.
Kenya Meteorological Department Director Peter Ambenje said heavy rainfall of more than 40 millimetres is expected in these areas raising the risk of landslides in the area.
The areas expecting heavy rainfall with high risk of flooding include Turkana, Samburu, West Pokot, Elgeyo Marakwet, Trans Nzoia, Uasin Gishu, Bungoma, Baringo, Nakuru, Laikipia, Nyandarua, Kirinyaga, Meru, Tharaka-Nithi, Embu, Kiambu, Nairobi, Murang’a and Nyeri.
The weatherman advised the people to be more cautious as the rains continue hitting many parts of the country warning those in the low lying areas to relocate to higher ground.
“Those living in urban areas are advised to be on the lookout for potential flash floods. Keep to safer grounds until the flooding subsides. Flood water may suddenly appear in places where it hasn’t rained heavily and can be deeper and faster than it looks,” said Mr Ambenje.
Mandera, Wajir and Garissa counties and southeastern counties of Kitui, Makueni, Machakos and Taita-Taveta will experience sunny intervals during the day and partly cloudy skies at night.
Meanwhile, Coastal counties of Mombasa, Tana River, Kilifi, Lamu and Kwale will have sunny intervals throughout the day.
Siaya, Kisumu, Homa Bay and Migori counties will experience sunny intervals in the morning, giving way to showers and thunderstorms in several places in the afternoon.
