The Kenya Meteorological Department has forecast intermittent cold and cloudy conditions in various regions of the country from the last week of August to early September.

According to the weatherman, residents in the Central Highlands, Western Kenya, Rift Valley, and South-eastern lowlands are advised to brace for cooler temperatures and cloudy skies during this period.

It also indicated that parts of Western Kenya, the Central Highlands, the Rift Valley, the Coast, and North-eastern Kenya will likely experience rainfall at the start of the forecast period.

In the forecast, the Department highlighted that rain is expected to relieve the ongoing dry conditions in certain areas but may also bring the typical challenges associated with wet weather.

Night-time temperatures are expected to drop significantly, particularly in some areas of the Central Highlands, Rift Valley, and South-eastern lowlands, with lows dipping below 10°C.

Residents in these regions are advised to stay warm and take necessary precautions, especially at night.

Meanwhile, high daytime temperatures are anticipated in other parts of the country, with the Coast, North-eastern, and North-western regions experiencing temperatures above 30°C.

These warmer conditions may contribute to increased evaporation rates, potentially affecting water availability in these areas.
