"During the forecast period, rainfall is expected to reduce in some parts of the county and increase in intensity towards the weekend", said Dr Daniel Mbithi, the County Director of Meteorological Services.
KMD has issued an advisory to Kenyans in lowland counties like Kitui, Makueni and Taita Taveta to remain vigilant for potential floods, flash floods and poor visibility.
Additionally the weatherman urges Kenyans to avoid driving through or walking in moving water. They should also not shelter under trees during rainfall sessions or near grilled windows since this will increase their exposure to lighting strikes.
Strong winds are expected to persist in most parts of the county. They will be blowing from the southern side to the south eastern direction at a speed exceeding 25knots or 12.5m/s.
