From drought to deluge: The effects of Kenya's onset 'long rains' season 2023

The onset of the 'Long Rains' season of 2023 in Kenya had both positive and negative effects on the country. While the rains brought relief to drought-stricken regions, they also caused flash flood in some areas, leading to loss of human life, displacement, loss of property and damage to infrastructure. It is important for the government and all stakeholders to invest in strategies that mitigate the impacts of extreme weather events and ensure the sustainable management of water resources. With the right policies and practices in place, Kenya can better cope with the challenges posed by climate change and ensure the well-being of its people and ecosystems.

In conclusion in the study, it is important for individuals and relevant stakeholders to plan and prepare accordingly to mitigate the potential impacts of the weather forecast on their activities, especially those that are highly dependent on weather conditions such as agriculture, transportation among others.
