Kenya Meteorological Department has said tropical storm IALY has dissipated.
In a tweet on X, Met said as of May 22 at 3:16 pm, the tropical storm IALY was no more with the system filling up during the day.
"It will be remembered as the most northerly Tropical Cyclone, reaching 4.7°S," Met said.
"IALY was lastly observed to have maximum winds of 55 km/h (averaged over 10 minutes) and maximum gusts of 75 km/h, with an estimated pressure at the centre of 1002 hPa."
The storm's position was at 2.9° South / 42.7° East, moving Northeast at 6 km/h at the last observation.
"The development of Cyclone IALY further north close to Kenya Coast is unusual, largely due to sea surface temperatures along the East African coast surpassing the 27°C threshold," it explained.
"This rarity underscores the significance of elevated sea temperatures in influencing cyclone behaviour."
Previous sea surface temperatures along the East African Coast on May 19, showed readings surpassing 28 degrees Celsius, exceeding the threshold of 26.5 degrees Celsius.
"These warm waters can fuel cyclone formation and intensification," Met said.
Before its dissipation, IALY had killed at least two people and destroyed property in the chaos that followed as the winds swept through the region.
Police said the victims included a pupil aged four years who was killed after the strong winds hit Gogoraruhe Mosque ECD School destroying the roof.
Four other pupils were admitted with various head injuries aged five, two and two of them are aged four years.
The chaos also left two employees at the Salima Gases Kenya Limited seriously injured after falling stones hit them with one succumbing to the injuries while receiving treatment.
At the Kilifi North subcounty offices, the parking lot roof was blown off by strong winds with two Ford Ranger cars that were parked being damaged.
In Mombasa, the roof of a structure at the Mbaraki Girls Comprehensive School was blown off by the winds.
