Nairobi Experiences Unseasonable Heat Amid Rainy Season
High temperatures persist in Nairobi despite forecasts of above-average rains
Nairobi is experiencing unusually high temperatures despite the onset of the rainy season. Meteorologists explain that forecasts of increased seasonal rainfall do not guarantee continuous rain or immediate relief from high temperatures.
Weather expert Maithya wa Vilivū notes that Nairobi could experience above-average temperatures through the final quarter of 2026 and into early 2027, with average temperatures rising between 0.5°C and 1.5°C above normal.
The Kenya Meteorological Service Authority reassures the public that delayed rains in certain areas do not undermine the overall seasonal outlook, which projects above-average rainfall alongside higher-than-average temperatures across much of Kenya.
