As Kenya enters December, the Kenya Meteorological Department (KMD) advises residents and farmers to take precautionary measures during the transition to generally dry conditions.
The December forecast indicates that most parts of the country are likely to receive depressed rainfall.
However, isolated heavy rainfall may still occur, causing localised flooding, particularly in poorly drained urban areas.
Residents are urged to maintain proper hydration, ensure safe food handling, and use treated mosquito nets to prevent vector-borne diseases.
Exercise caution while traveling and avoid flooded roads. Stay informed about weather updates to plan daily activities safely.
Farmers should implement water conservation strategies, store sufficient livestock feed, and maintain water points. In arid regions, available water should be used efficiently.
