@Liez_Liz@05BM44 To the best of my knowledge, the mandated disaster management institution, together with partners such as @trcs1962, is coordinating efforts to share early warning information with communities.
The South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season has begun, with Tropical Storm CHENGE being named as the first system of the season. The storm is projected to make landfall along the East African coast this weekend, likely as a tropical depression.
@Liez_Liz@05BM44 While Kenya will not be directly affected, the southern coast is expected to experience rains and strong winds from the fringes of the storm.
@Liez_Liz@05BM44 Current model runs indicate the tropical depression will make landfall on Monday, resulting in heavy rainfall over Tanzaniaβs northern coast.
The TZ Met Authority has issued a severe weather alert for heavy rain and strong winds associated with the system.
The storm will also influence the eastward movement of the northβsouth arm of the rainbelt, resulting in enhanced rainfall over the western and central parts of Kenya.
Dear friends of Samuel Arum,
We are deeply saddened to confirm the passing of Sam. The news has come as a great shock to us all, and the family is currently together handling the necessary arrangements.
