Flooding is likely to occur in low lying areas and along river basins in the Lake Victoria and the Coastal regions, the Meteorological Department has warned. The July weather outlook indicates this will be a wetter than usual month as some places across the country are expected to get rains. The forecast also showed that landslides and mudslides may also occur in the hilly areas of the highlands west of the Rift Valley and the Central highlands. Met director Stella Aura said the July weather could also cause an increase in cases of respiratory diseases. Aura said the water levels in the dams across the country are expected to remain high during this period.
