Kenya Met Says Heavy Rains to Persist Across Kenya Until March 9 - March 2026
The Kenya Meteorological Department has issued a fresh advisory warning of continued heavy rainfall across numerous Kenyan regions, with the downpour expected to persist and potentially intensify until March 9. Earlier in the week, the Kenya Meteorological Department issued warnings of peaking heavy rains across Nairobi and surrounding counties until Sunday evening, increasing the risk of flash floods with peak rainfall expected between March 4 and March 7. Heavy overnight rains caused significant traffic disruptions and snarl-ups across major Nairobi highways on the morning commute, with motorists experiencing slow-moving traffic and prolonged delays on key routes heading into and out of the city. Tragically, a seasoned Kenya Red Cross Society volunteer, Samuel Wanyonyi Wangila, lost his life while attempting a rescue in the swollen Mbagathi River on Tuesday, and another veteran Kenya Red Cross diver, Samuel Wangila, died on March 3 during a rescue operation for a teenager swept away by the swollen Nairobi River.
