Kenya’s Meteorological Department forecast mostly sunny and dry conditions from September 12 to 16, with rainfall confined to the highlands east and west of the Rift Valley and the Lake Victoria Basin.
Nairobi, Kenya — 2025-09-11 18:00 EAT. According to the Kenya Meteorological Department’s weekly forecast, much of Kenya can expect a mix of dry spells and scattered rainfall over the next few days. Regions differ in timing and intensity.
What’s expected: The 7-day forecast from KMD indicates mostly dry conditions in many areas, while parts of the western and lake regions may receive intermittent showers and thunderstorms.
Why it matters: These patterns affect agriculture, travel safety (especially for road users), and flood risk in prone zones.
KMD regularly issues a 7-day forecast and monthly outlooks. These provide baseline planning data for farmers, transport agencies, and disaster response units.
Seasonal transitions often bring instability—morning rains followed by hot, dry afternoons are common, especially near highland-lake interfaces.
Highest daytime temperatures recorded: Mandera ~ 37.4 °C.
Lowest nighttime temperatures observed: Nyahururu ~ 7.2 °C.
