The Kenya Meteorological Service Authority (KMSA) has issued a warning about the likelihood of above-average rainfall across multiple regions of Kenya during the October to December 2026 period.

According to AllAfrica Top, the KMSA is advising citizens to take precautionary measures ahead of the rains. With the possibility of intense weather patterns, residents are encouraged to assess their preparedness for potential disruptions. Historical data suggests that the OND seasons can sometimes bring significant rainfall, which can lead to flooding and landslides in vulnerable areas. The KMSA is emphasizing the importance of readying both infrastructure and personal safety strategies. In light of this forecast, local governments and communities are urged to implement measures to mitigate risks associated with heavy rainfall. Emergency response plans should be reviewed, and residents are advised to stay informed about weather updates from KMSA as the rainy season approaches. As Kenyans prepare for the 2026 OND season, proactive steps could help reduce the impact of potential flooding and associated disasters. The KMSA continues to monitor weather patterns closely and will provide updates as necessary.
