The Kenya Meteorological Department has announced that isolated storms and heavy rainfall will be felt in parts of the highlands East of Rift Valley, including Nairobi.
Further, South of the Rift Valley regions, parts of the Coastal strip and South-Eastern lowlands will experience precipitation.
Additionally, Isiolo and Samburu Counties may experience rainfall from Friday to Monday.
This comes a week after the Nairobi County Government was forced to deploy emergency response teams to Githogoro and Mukuru areas to mitigate the damage caused by the heavy rains recorded in different parts of the country last week.
In a statement on X, the county administration revealed that the Nairobi County Rapid Response team was assessing the scope of the damage caused by the rains.

“Nairobi County Rapid Response team led by Chief Officer Bramwel Simiyu is currently carrying out a joint County-wide assessment exercise with Red Cross/DMOs to establish the extent of the impact of last evening’s heavy rains,” the statement reads in part.
The intense rains disrupted normalcy, engulfing streets, with some businesses forced to shut down temporarily.
Motorists and commuters similarly found themselves stranded due to impassable roads, which halted transportation in different parts of the city.
