The Kenya Meteorological Department has forecast that most
parts of the country will remain sunny and dry between November 11 and November
17, 2025.
However, some regions are expected to experience rainfall
during the week.
According to the weekly forecast released on November 10,
rainfall will be experienced in parts of the Highlands East and West of the
Rift Valley, the Lake Victoria Basin, the Rift Valley, the Coast, the
South-eastern lowlands, and North-eastern Kenya.
Daytime temperatures are expected to rise above 30°C in the
Coast, North-eastern and North-western regions, as well as parts of the
South-eastern lowlands and the Highlands West of the Rift Valley.
Night temperatures may drop below 10°C in some parts of the
Highlands East of the Rift Valley, the Central Rift Valley, and areas near
Mount Kilimanjaro.
In the Highlands West of the Rift Valley, the Lake Victoria
Basin, and the Rift Valley—including Nandi, Kakamega, Kisii, and
Nakuru—mornings will have sunny intervals followed by afternoon showers and
thunderstorms. Nights are expected to be partly cloudy with isolated showers.
In North-western Kenya, covering Turkana and Samburu, sunny

The Highlands East of the Rift Valley, including Nyeri,

The forecast for North-eastern Kenya, including Garissa,

There is also a chance of morning, afternoon, and night
