Turkana
County is experiencing rainfall this month which is unusual as most rains are
experienced in the month of October. At Kakuma town the rain started on Friday
and it has continued until today with no signs of stopping at all. In Lodwar
town, the rain started last night at about 11pm raining all night long and
pausing at 7 in the morning where drizzling took over for the rest of the day.
Meteorological
reports show that this is an unusual rain pattern experienced in the county
since short rain occurs in the month of October. With heavy rainfall being
recorded countrywide, Turkana County was not left behind as it recorded 30.2mm. Weather observers have cautioned the residents of spread of diseases
such as malaria during the raining seasons and urged them to prevent them by
seeking doctor’s advice as early as possible.
Rainfall is
always seen as a sign of blessing but for the transport sector it is the exact
opposite as the rain has hindered movement of people to different areas.
Travelling in and out of Lodwar town was impossible today as the infamous Kawalase
proving impassable.
The
residents are now calling the county government to take action by constructing
a bridge at kawalase to help during the raining season.
