However, regions such as the Central Highlands, Western Kenya, and Rift Valley are expected to continue receiving rainfall during this period. The forecast notes, “Sunny intervals are expected in the morning. Afternoon and night showers and thunderstorms are expected over few places.”
For the Coast, North Eastern, and North Western regions, daytime temperatures are projected to be above 30 degrees Celsius. The department also warns of strong southerly to south-easterly winds exceeding 25 knots (12.9 m/s) in these areas.

The Kenya Meteorological Department urges Kenyans to stay updated with more forecasts from its official social media pages or the office of County Directors of Meteorology. This will provide accurate information that can help in planning daily activities accordingly.
Over the past few months, different parts of Kenya have experienced heavy rainfall, leading to displacement and significant losses for many residents. The department advises Kenyans living in riparian areas to relocate to avoid being affected by potential flooding.
The department’s forecast is aimed at helping Kenyans prepare for the varied weather conditions expected in the coming week, ensuring they take necessary precautions to stay safe.
