Kenya is experiencing unfavourable weather conditions attributed to a cyclone named Belna in the South Western Indian Ocean, which is indirectly influencing the climate in the country, the Kenya Meteorological Department (KMD) has said.

The KMD has also warned of strong winds on the Coast until Friday, December 13, alerting residents and beach-goers to be on the lookout.
“The wind speed over the Indian ocean along the Kenya coastline is 2.5 to 10m/s with wave heights of 0.6 to 1.5 metres,” said KMD Director Stella Aura.
Ms Aura said in a press release yesterday that the region is expected to receive heavy rainfall with moderate visibility during the forecast period.
She, however, dismissed claims that a cyclone named Belna is headed towards the Kenyan coast, explaining that Kenya’s location along the Equator does not allow it to be hit by the cyclone.
