Below normal rainfall and warmer than usual conditions are expected over most parts of the Greater Horn of Africa during the October-November-December, OND rain season. The projected adverse climatic conditions will be experienced in Eastern Kenya which comprises South Eastern Lowlands covering Kitui, Machakos, Makueni and Taita Taveta counties, among others.
National and County forecasts will follow later, Kitui County Director of Meteorological Services Daniel Mbithi said.
The weatherman advised farmers to treat this regional weather forecast as an early warning in order to prepare well for the next rain season.
"This is a regional forecast. We will still have a national climate outlook and finally a county climate outlook but it is good to begin preparing so that value chain actors do not stock the wrong seed varieties and so are the farmers".
