A Thursday, March 23, afternoon downpour disrupted business in Nairobi City as it left city roads and streets flooded due to poor drainage.
The two-hour rain left pedestrians stranded as most streets were flooded forcing them to either wade through the flood waters or hop on pavements along shop entrances.
After months of a dry spell, several parts of the country are receiving rain.
Apart from Nairobi, the rains have been experienced in Mt Kenya and Western regions in Nyeri, Tharaka-Nithi, Embu, Kirinyaga, Kisumu and Kakamega, Homa Bay, Nyamira, Kisii, and Migori counties.
However, according to the Kenya Meteorological Department, preliminary predictions indicate that the expected March, April and May 2023 rainfall is likely to be depressed and characterised by a late onset and poor distribution in time and space.
