The Meteorological Department has announced that Kenyans should expect more rainfall in several parts of the country in the coming week.
In the latest forecast for January 15 to January 21, 2024, the department said parts of the Northwest and Northeast are likely to receive occasional rainfall.
"Isolated storms and heavy rainfall also likely in the south rift valley, southeast lowlands, central highlands, and south coast," the department said in a statement.
Further, the weatherman said rainfall will continue in Lake Victoria basin, western Kenya, central and southern rift valley, central highlands including Nairobi city, and the coastal region.
On Saturday, several roads in the city were rendered impassible following the heavy rainfall in Nairobi and its environs from Friday night to early Saturday.
Some city residents have been compelled to seek shelter elsewhere after Ngong River burst its banks early Saturday morning, flooding several houses in the area.
