Vehicles trapped in the Nairobi Flooding. The risk of flooding and landslides across Kenya remains high this week, the Kenya Meteorological Department has warned. The agency said the ground in many areas is already saturated after days of heavy rain last week and cannot absorb more water. In the department’s five-day forecast for this week, rain will still fall in many parts of the country, although the intense storms of last week are not expected. At least 23 people died after flash floods struck Nairobi following heavy overnight rains, police and emergency officials said.
