Rainfall currently affecting parts of the Lake Victoria Basin, the Rift Valley and Highlands West of Rift Valley is expected to intensify to more than 30mm in 24hrs and spread to the Highlands East of Rift Valley including Nairobi and parts of Southeastern lowlands on Thursday 23rd October 2025. The heavy rainfall is expected to continue and extend to parts of Northeast from Thursday 30th October 2025. This is likely to mark the Onset of the Short Rains Season (OND) 2025 over several parts of the country except over parts of Southeastern lowlands and the coastal region as indicated in the OND 2025 Forecast.

Residents in all the mentioned areas are advised to be on the lookout for potential floods. Flood waters may appear in places where it has not rained heavily especially downstream. People are advised to avoid driving through or walking in moving water, open fields and not to shelter under trees and near grilled windows to minimize exposure to lightning strikes. People in landslide prone areas especially over the slopes of Aberdare ranges, Mt. Kenya and other sloppy areas over the western region should be on high alert. Updates will be provided promptly if there are any changes.
