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.

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.
