Residents in all the mentioned areas are advised to be on the lookout for potential floods, flash floods and poor visibility. The water levels in rivers, lakes and dams are expected to remain high. People leaving downstream rivers and along seasonal rivers should be careful since water may appear suddenly even though it may not be raining within the area. 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 minimize exposure to lightning strikes. People in landslide prone areas especially over the slopes of the Aberdare ranges, Mt. Kenya, western and other hilly areas should be vigilant. Strong winds may blow off roofs, uproot trees and cause structural damages. Large waves may affect marine activities. Updates will be provided promptly if there are any changes.
