The Kenya Meteorological Department has unveiled a new mobile application to alert Kenyans on storms.
The app, dubbed FASTA (Forecasting African Storms Application) displays live weather conditions.
It also shows real-time project storm development of two hours.
The Application gives two options to choose from including storm regions showing areas of current storm activity and storm rainfall showing current rainfall activity.
This comes at a time when the country is experiencing heavy rainfall that has left a trail of destruction.
On Tuesday, the weatherman warned that most parts of the country will continue to record heavy downpours this week.
This is contained in the five-day forecast by the Kenya Metrological Department covering April 9 to April 13.
The weatherman says some counties especially those in Northeastern Kenya will record higher temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius.
The counties include Marsabit, Mandera, Wajir, Isiolo, Garissa, Tana River, Lamu, Kilifi, Mombasa, Kwale and Turkana.
"Rainfall to continue across the country, with heavy rainfall anticipated in Central Highlands, Western Kenya, Rift Valley, South-eastern lowlands, Coast, North-eastern, and North-western Kenya," the forecast shows.
According to the weatherman, temperatures are likely to remain high (above 25°C) in parts of the Coast, North-eastern and North-western Kenya.
The forecast shows that counties in the Highlands East of the Rift Valley including Nairobi, Nyandarua, Laikipia, Nyeri, Kirinyaga, Murang'a, Kiambu, Meru, Embu and Tharaka Nithi will record rains over a few places in the morning.
Showers and thunderstorms will be experienced over several places in the afternoon paving the way for showers over several places at night.
Temperatures in these counties will be as high as 28 degrees Celsius during the day before dropping to as low as 10 degrees Celsius at night.
According to the forecast, counties in the North-eastern part of the country which include Marsabit, Mandera, Wajir, Garissa and Isiolo will record temperatures as high as 38 degrees Celsius during the day and 16 degrees Celsius at night.
This is even as the Kenya National Highways Authority has closed several roads due to flooding.
KeNHA said the flooding is a result of the ongoing heavy rains.
The Authority urged users to be cautious and avoid driving in the floodwater for their safety.
The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) issued a warning to road users concerning the potentially hazardous conditions brought about by heavy rains across the country.
In a statement released on Saturday, NTSA Director General George Njao emphasised the need for increased caution, urging the public to be extra-vigilant, courteous, and mindful of safety measures.
He highlighted the importance of looking out for vulnerable road users such as children and pedestrians.
