[Photo/ The Star]Some parts of the country will experience light showers giving a temporary relief from the scorching sun though they will be short-lived, the weatherman has said.According to the meteorological department, in its seven-day forecast, the clouds and showers may last until Saturday, after which the sun will be back.The light rains are expected in parts of Ukambani and Taita, the South Coast, South Nyanza and the South Rift Valley.Central Highlands, including Nairobi, Embu, Nyeri and Meru, will also have some afternoon showers until Saturday.Head of meteorological services Peter Ambenje said the rest of the country will remain hot and sunny.“Dry conditions are expected to continue over most parts of the country for much of the forecast period,” he said in a seven-day forecast ending Monday next week as quoted by the Star.Late last month, the weatherman predicted dry weather will be dominant over most parts of the country this month.“The January-February 2018 period is expected to be sunny and dry, with very high daytime temperatures,” Ambenje said in a monthly forecast.Ambeje advised that contingency measures be enhanced to avert any deaths due to lack of food and water in the hot January-February period.“The good (October-November) rainfall performance over most parts of the country resulted in good crop performance in most agricultural areas. However, these benefits will diminish towards end of this month, especially in Northern Kenya," Ambeje added.
