Kenya weather forecast predicts dry conditions with isolated rainfall

The Kenya Meteorological Department has issued a weather forecast predicting generally dry conditions across most of the country, with isolated rainfall expected in specific counties.

Rainfall is anticipated in Bungoma, Trans Nzoia, Nakuru, Uasin Gishu, Elgeyo Marakwet, Kericho, Nyandarua, and Nyeri. Other regions, including Nairobi, Embu, Kiambu, Kirinyaga, Laikipia, Meru, and Murang'a, are expected to experience intermittent cool and cloudy conditions.

Experts have noted that these patterns come amid warnings regarding a strengthening El Niño and a positive Indian Ocean Dipole, which may influence rainfall across East Africa. While much of the country remains dry for now, heavy and persistent rains are anticipated starting in September, particularly in the North East and coastal regions.
