As always, strong winds blowing at a speed higher than 12.5 knots/6.5m/s is expected over most parts of the county. "Strong North easterly to Easterly winds...are expected over most parts of the County".
The Kitui County Director of Meteorological Services Daniel Mbithi has stressed the importance of being aware of adverse effects of climate change.
