The Kenya Meteorological Department has issued a detailed weather outlook for the next seven days, highlighting regions across the country expected to experience rainfall, temperature fluctuations, and strong winds.
According to the official forecast on their official X account on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, persistent rainfall is expected over several key regions. These include the Central Highlands, the Lake Victoria Basin, the Rift Valley, the Coast, and Western Kenya.
Residents in these areas should prepare for wet conditions that may impact daily activities such as travel, farming, and outdoor events.
“Rainfall is expected to persist across areas Central Highlands, Lake Victoria Basin, Rift Valley, Coast, and Western Kenya,” Kenya Met’s latest advisory reads.
Daytime temperatures are forecast to remain high, especially in parts of the Coast, North-eastern, and North-western Kenya, where temperatures will exceed 30°C. These warm conditions could increase the risk of dehydration and heat-related illnesses, so the public is advised to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.
Conversely, cooler night-time temperatures below 10°C are expected in the Central Highlands, Central Rift Valley, and areas near Mt. Kilimanjaro. Such low temperatures may affect vulnerable groups such as the elderly and children, who should take precautionary measures by ensuring adequate warmth at night.
Strong winds
Additionally, strong winds are forecast to blow at speeds greater than 25 knots (approximately 12.86 meters per second) across the Coast, Kenya’s territorial waters, the south-eastern lowlands, and parts of North-eastern and North-western Kenya. These strong winds could disrupt marine activities, cause dust storms, or lead to minor structural damage.
In summary, the weatherman predicted a mixture of rainfall, heat, cool nights, and strong winds across various parts of Kenya. The department thus called on people to stay updated with accurate forecasts, which will help minimise risks associated with these weather conditions.
