The Kenya Meteorological Department has released its weekly forecast for September 30 to October 6, 2025, projecting sunny and dry conditions across most parts of the country.
However, rains are expected in several regions, particularly the Highlands East and West of the Rift Valley, the Lake Victoria Basin, the Rift Valley, and parts of North-western Kenya, where isolated heavy downpours may occur.
Counties such as Kakamega, Bungoma, Kericho, Trans Nzoia, and Uasin Gishu are likely to experience morning rains, while Turkana and Samburu may see scattered thunderstorms in the afternoons and nights.
In the Highlands East of the Rift Valley, including Nyandarua, Laikipia, Nyeri, Murang'a, Kiambu, and Nairobi, cloudy mornings will give way to sunny intervals, with afternoon showers expected in some areas, especially later in the week.
North-eastern and South-eastern lowlands, including Marsabit, Mandera, Garissa, Kitui, and Machakos, are forecast to remain largely dry, though occasional showers may develop in select areas.
