The ongoing heavy rains will end in December, according to the Meteorological department.
In the short-rains forecast, head of the Met department Stella Aura on Monday said the rains will be heaviest next month, then begin to taper in the second week of December across the country.
In a five-day forecast, Aura said showers and thunderstorms will continue in Western Kenya, especially around Lake Victoria. “Rainfall is expected to continue over several parts of the country,” she said.
Other areas likely to be pounded by downpours this week include highlands west of the Rift Valley, including Kakamega, Vihiga, Nandi, Elgeyo Marakwet, West Pokot, Trans Nzoia, Bungoma, Bomet, Uasin Gishu, Kisii, Kericho and Nyamira.
