Heavy rains are expected to continue across several parts of the country in the coming week, the Kenya Meteorological Department has warned in its latest weekly forecast.

"Rainfall will continue over the Highlands east and west of the Rift Valley, the Lake Victoria Basin, the Central and South Rift Valley, the South Eastern Lowlands, and the Coast. Isolated storms and heavy rainfall are likely in some areas," said Kenya MET Director David Gikungu in an advisory.
