Heavy rainfall pounding the coastal city of Mombasa in Kenya is disrupting economic activity and daily life, as flooding affects roads and residential areas.

The ongoing downpours have made several key routes difficult to pass, slowing transport and impacting businesses that rely on the movement of goods and people. Some neighbourhoods have also reported water entering homes, forcing residents to deal with damage and temporary displacement.

Authorities are monitoring the situation, with concerns that continued rainfall could worsen conditions in low-lying areas prone to flooding.

Residents and traders say the rains are already taking a toll, with many struggling to operate normally amid the disruptions.
