Nairobi, Nakuru, Kisumu and Mombasa are among the major towns that the weatherman warns will experience heavy rainfall between Thursday, October 10 and Monday, October 14.
In an advisory shared with the public on Thursday, the Kenya Meteorological Department (MET) said the heavy downpour will be accompanied by strong winds.
Nyeri, Meru, Kakamega, Kisii, Machakos and Taita Taveta will also be affected in the said-period.
Other counties that will experience the extreme weather patterns include: Vihiga, Nandi, Elgeyo Marakwet, West Pokot, Trans-Nzoia, Bungoma, Bomet, Uasin Gishu, Kericho, Nyamira, Siaya, Migori, Homa Bay and Busia.
Narok, Laikipia, Baringo, Murang’a, Embu, Tharaka Nithi, Kirinyaga, Kiambu and Nyandarua will also experience heavy rainfall.
Besides Mombasa, other affected counties in the Coast region include Kilifi, Kwale, Tana River and Lamu.
Wajir, Garissa and Mandera counties in the North-Eastern region will also be hit by heavy rains.
Makueni, Turkana, Marsabit and Samburu are the other counties that will experience heavy downpour between Thursday, October 10 and Monday.
MET advises the residents of the listed areas to be vigilant, and, at the same time, look out for potential flashfloods.
“Flood waters may suddenly appear even in places where it has not rained heavily and can be deeper and faster than they look. Residents are advised to avoid driving through, or walking in, moving water or open fields and not to shelter under trees and near grilled windows to minimise exposure to lighting strikes,” said MET.
“People in landslide-prone areas should be on high alert. The heavy rains and moderate to strong winds may result in storm surges along the coast; hence fishermen and all in the Marine industry should be on high alert,” said the weatherman.

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds
Raila was the hunter now the hunted... how do trust a hyena like Uhuru.. You both greedy... you dug your grave lie in it... What handshake.. Crap...
Babu aje zake,handshake is for all Kenyans, and Kibra believe in handshake, there4, Uhuru And Raila should have different candidates and whoever Will go through Will be thé product of handshake
Babu waja ukoloni bwana, there's no direct ticket
Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
