  "summary": "The Kenya Maritime Authority (KMA) has issued an advisory warning of rough to very rough seas along the Kenyan coast between September and December 2026. The advisory follows an earlier notice issued on September 21, 2026, and warns of east-south-easterly to south-south-westerly winds ranging from 4 to 24 knots. The conditions could include strong winds, rough seas, high waves, heavy rainfall, and reduced visibility, posing risks to vessels and people undertaking activities at sea and along the coastline. KMA has urged the public to avoid venturing into the sea during periods of adverse weather and rough sea conditions, and for boat owners and operators to secure their vessels properly and avoid overloading them.",
