According to the latest weather forecast released by the Red Cross on Thursday evening, the downpour is expected to continue for four days in several parts of the country.

As reported by the Red Cross, 'Floods may suddenly appear even in places where it has not rained heavily, and they can be deeper and faster than they look, especially in semi-arid and urban areas.'
Four people also died in Kitui County after their vehicle was washed away while trying to cross a flooded seasonal river.
