NAIROBI, Kenya — Parts of Kenya will continue to experience rainfall over the coming week, while other regions brace for soaring daytime temperatures and biting cold nights, according to a new forecast by the Kenya Meteorological Department.
In its weekly outlook covering June 2 to June 9, 2025, the Met Department said rainfall is expected to persist in five key regions: the Central Highlands, Lake Victoria Basin, Rift Valley, Coast, and Western Kenya.
Residents in these areas should expect morning rains, afternoon showers accompanied by thunderstorms, and occasional night rains.
Counties likely to be affected include Kisumu, Siaya, Homabay, Migori, Kakamega, Kericho, Nakuru, and Narok, among others.
Meanwhile, parts of the country, especially in the North and along the coast, are forecast to record high daytime temperatures exceeding 30°C.
These include the North-eastern and North-western regions, as well as the Coast.
At the same time, night-time temperatures are expected to dip below 10°C in parts of the Central Highlands, the Central Rift Valley, and areas near Mt Kilimanjaro, bringing chilly nights to counties such as Nyandarua, Nyeri, and Laikipia.
Strong winds—exceeding 25 knots (around 12.86 m/s)—are also expected across coastal regions, Kenya’s territorial waters, and parts of the South-eastern lowlands and Northern Kenya.
In North-western counties such as Turkana and Samburu, weather conditions will remain largely dry, with sunny intervals during the day and partly cloudy nights.
Nairobi and surrounding counties, including Kiambu, Murang’a, Meru, and Embu, may receive light rainfall in some areas, especially in the afternoons, with chances of more scattered rains at night.
The South-eastern lowlands—including Machakos, Kitui, Makueni, and Kajiado—will experience mostly dry weather, with cloudy mornings giving way to sunny afternoons and mild nights.
Coastal counties like Mombasa, Kilifi, Kwale, and Lamu will have light morning showers, followed by sunny intervals and partly cloudy nights.
The Met Department has advised residents in areas expecting strong winds and rainfall to stay alert for possible disruptions, especially in flood-prone regions.
