Most parts of Kenya will experience dry and sunny conditions throughout this week, the Kenya Meteorological Department has announced in its latest forecast.
The department said the outlook, which runs from Tuesday, September 23, to Monday, September 29, 2025, shows that only a few regions will receive rainfall.
Areas likely to see showers include the Highlands both east and west of the Rift Valley, the Lake Victoria Basin and parts of north-western Kenya.
According to the forecast, high daytime temperatures of more than 30°C are expected in parts of the Coast, northern and north-western Kenya.
On the other hand, the Central Highlands, the Central Rift and the Mt Kilimanjaro region will have low night temperatures, dropping to about 10°C.
Kenya Met also noted that strong winds of more than 25 knots will be experienced across the Coast, south-eastern lowlands, as well as the north-eastern and north-western regions.
These winds are expected to affect marine operations, transport and infrastructure.
The department reviewed the weather performance for the previous week, September 15 to 21, noting that Kitale recorded 76.4mm of rainfall in seven days, with 59.0mm falling in just 24 hours on September 20.
Mandera was the hottest location at 38.6°C on September 16, while Nyahururu was the coldest with 5.0°C on September 21.
In the forecast covering September 16 to 22, Kenya Met had projected heavy rainfall in Nairobi, the Lake Victoria Basin, the Rift Valley, the Coast, Western Kenya and parts of the Central Highlands.
Despite much of the country expected to remain dry this week, the department advised residents in the regions highlighted for rainfall to be cautious of possible disruptions.
It added that the strong southerly to south-easterly winds, exceeding 25 knots, are also likely to cause risks at sea and in other vulnerable areas.
Temperature differences will remain notable across the country, with highs above 30°C in the Coast, north-eastern and north-western areas, while lows of below 10°C are expected at night in parts of the Central Highlands, the Central Rift Valley and Mt Kilimanjaro region.
Kenya Met said it will keep monitoring the changing conditions and issue regular updates, urging Kenyans to rely on official reports and take precautions in areas likely to be affected by heavy rainfall, strong winds and extreme temperatures.
