The authorities have warned of strong winds and massive sea waves hitting East Africa from Thursday.

In Kenya, the meteorological department has said that the strong winds "could blow off roofs and cause structural damage".

Tanzania has also warned of five days of severe weather, including gales, along its entire coastline and elsewhere in the west and northern parts of the country.

The Rwanda Meteorology Agency said many parts of the eastern and southern provinces are likely to experience strong winds.
