• As Kenya navigate through the long rain season, national leaders have emphasized on proactive measures to mitigate the impacts of anticipated weather patterns.

Kenya should brace for a mix of wet and hot weather conditions from May 13-19, 2025. This is according to the latest update from the Kenya Meteorological Department released on May 12, 2025.

Rainfall is expected to continue over several regions, especially the Central Highlands (including Nairobi), Lake Victoria Basin, Rift Valley, and Western Kenya.

The effects of heavy rain are already being felt in various parts of Nairobi, causing floods and resulting in heavy traffic across major roads.

In parts of the Central Highlands, Central Rift Valley, and around Mt. Kilimanjaro, temperatures may drop below 10°C at night.

During the day, highs of over 30°C are expected in much of the Coast, North-eastern, and North-western Kenya.
