Weather experts warn of dry daysThe country is headed for a dry month, as day time temperatures hit a record high.Weather experts have also warned that strong swirls of dusty wind, also known as dust devils, will be experienced in most parts of the country. February, generally a dry month, comes on the back of an equally sunny January that saw daytime temperatures in most counties rise to over 32°C. The monthly weather review for January, which was released last week by the Meteorology Office, blamed the fall in water levels in power-producing dams and other water reservoirs on the high daytime temperatures. For the past two years, water levels have fallen up to 21 per cent, creating water shortages in the city. The February weather outlook by the Kenya Meteorological Department has also warned that the dry weather might fuel wild fires and also cause reduced visibility in some areas as a result of dust.
