Good morning,
A chilly morning today, perhaps a signal that we are in October, you should carry your umbrella and dress warmly because it might rain.
Strong winds and unexpected dust storms hit several parts of the country on Tuesday evening leading to power outages in some areas. There was also a traffic snarl-up on different Nairobi routes due to poor visibility.
Did you experience this? How was it?
The Kenya Met Department has revealed that this was caused by a build-up of high temperatures and Kenyans should expect a change in temperatures.

Kenyans were treated to drama on Tuesday afternoon after the ODM Party tweeted that Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa had ditched Tanga tanga and rejoined the party. ODM later deleted the tweet after an online backlash. Jumwa has vehemently denied these claims and even joined Jubilee’s Mariga on a campaign trail in Kibra. Do you think ODM was desperate or has Raila’s party sensed defeat in the Kibra by-election?
