The Kenya Meteorological Department (KMD) issued a five‑day forecast for Saturday 14 November through Wednesday 18 November, indicating that a large number of counties will receive rainfall during the period.

Coastal counties Kwale, Kilifi and Lamu are among those slated for rain on all five days, as are Meru, Kitui, Machakos, Nyandarua, Nyeri and Kiambu in the east‑central zone, together with Nairobi County.

In the Rift Valley, West Pokot, Samburu, Trans Nzoia, Baringo, Laikipia, Nakuru, Kajiado, Kericho, Bomet and Narok are also forecast to experience daily showers throughout the five‑day window.

Several of those Rift Valley and Western counties – including West Pokot, Samburu, Trans Nzoia, Baringo, Nakuru, Kericho, Kakamega, Bungoma and Nyamira – face an added risk of thunderstorms and lightning on one or more days.

Taita Taveta, Makueni and Siaya round out the list of counties expected to record rainfall across the full five‑day span, though the timing may differ, with some areas receiving precipitation mainly in the afternoon or night.

Counties receiving intermittent rain include Mombasa, which is forecast for showers only on Monday 16 November, and Tana River, Wajir and Mandera, which are expected to see rain on Saturday and Sunday.

Garissa is listed for four of the five days (Sunday through Wednesday), while Marsabit and Isiolo will see rain on three and four days respectively; Tharaka Nithi, Embu, Kirinyaga and Murang’a are forecast for rain from Saturday through Tuesday.

KMD advises the public to read the five‑day outlook alongside its daily 24‑hour weather bulletins, noting that county‑level details are available through the respective County Directors of Meteorological Services.
