The Kenya Maritime Authority (KMA) has issued a stern warning to coastal residents and maritime operators about anticipated rough seas, heavy rainfall, and strong winds from September to December.

• The adverse weather conditions are expected to reduce visibility, posing a significant risk to vessels and individuals engaged in activities at sea and along the coastline.
• Key advice includes securing vessels, wearing life jackets, and delaying non-essential sea activities.
• This warning follows recent flooding in parts of Mombasa and the county's efforts to clear drainage systems.
