    The counties that will be most affected include; Nyeri,Muranga, Kirinyaga, Embu, Meru, Kiambu, Tharaka Nithi, Laikipia, Nyandarua. 

    Others include; Kakamega, Vihiga, Busia, Bungoma, Kisumu, Kisii, Siaya, Homabay, Kericho, Nandi, Bomet, Nakuru, Elgeyo Marakwet, Baringo, Uasin Gishu, Trans Nzoia and Narok.

    Residents of the aforementioned areas were urged to expect showers and thunderstorms. 

    “Cloudy conditions with light rains over a few places expected in the morning and thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening,” Kenya Met cautioned. 

    North-Western and Lake Turkana Region, consisting of West Pokot, Turkana and Samburu and Garissa, Mandera, Wajir and Isiolo counties were asked to expect showers and thunderstorms too. 

    Same as to Machakos, Makueni, Kitui, Taita Taveta, Kajiado, Kwale, Mombasa, Kilifi, Lamu and Tana River counties. 

    In late April 2021, Kenya Met had warned that flash floods were expected to hit the country especially Mandera, Marsabit and Wajir. 

    “Flash Floods are expected to occur in areas harbouring the borders of Ethiopia and Kenya. This is as a result of the expected heavy rainfall of more than 50mm/24hrs over the Ethiopian highlands that may cause outflow to the neighbouring catchments in Mandera, Marsabit and Wajir counties,†read the statement.

    The government urged farmers to capitalise on the heavy rains to plant and improve the country’s agricultural and food production. Spokesperson Cyrus Oguna said that the food sector was affected by poor short rainfalls experienced in 2020. 

    “Kenyans should take advantage of these programs especially subsidies and early rains to prepare for planting. As the government, we are committed to ensuring that no Kenyan dies from lack of food. This is a commitment made by the President,” Oguna said.
