Hours after Authorities in Tanzania ordered people in southern coastal regions to move to safer ground ahead of the expected arrival of cyclone Kenneth, Kenyan Met department has warned that some parts of the country could be severely affected too.

According to BBC, Cyclone Kenneth could be the strongest cyclone ever recorded to make landfall in the East African region.

According to the weatherman Kenya will not experience the cyclone but Isiolo, Western Kenya, Samburu and Nairobi will experience effects of the storm in the form of enhanced rainfall.

“It is FALSE that cyclone Kenneth will hit the Kenyan Coast. By the laws of physics, Cyclones cannot come this close to the equator. Landfall will be northern Mozambique as shown in the satellite image,” they said.


Residents have been told to expect damage to their houses and farms.

According to weather reports, landfall may occur as early as noon on Thursday near the Tanzania and Mozambique border.
