By BRIAN OKINDA More by this AuthorThe Kenya Meteorological Department has warned of likely persistence in cases of respiratory diseases such as asthma, pneumonia, flu and common colds in some regions. They are Nairobi, highlands east of the Rift Valley, the central Rift Valley and parts of the highlands west of the Rift Valley. The cold season is likely to persist until the end of August in the indicated areas. But that notwithstanding, these conditions present a boon as the expected enhanced rainfall is expected to provide sufficient soil moisture for agricultural production. However, there is likelihood of occasional occurrence of frost in parts of the central highlands and southern and central Rift Valley which may adversely affect crop production.
