The Kenya Metrological Service Authority (KMSA) issued a forecast indicating that rain will fall across large parts of the country within the next 24 hours.

The forecast covers the Highlands East and West of the Rift Valley, the Lake Victoria Basin, the Rift Valley proper, the southeastern lowlands, the coastal strip, as well as the northeastern and north‑western regions.

KMSA warned that some locations could receive heavy rainfall exceeding 20 mm in 24 hours, with isolated pockets projected to record cumulative totals above 120 mm during the period.

In addition to rain, the service noted that counties such as Garissa, Wajir, Tana River, Lamu, Kilifi, Isiolo, Marsabit, Samburu and Turkana are expected to see daytime maximum temperatures above 35 °C.

Conversely, highland counties including Meru, Nyeri, Nyandarua and Nakuru are forecast to experience cool nights with minimum temperatures dropping below 10 °C.

Recent observations from the previous week (Nov 2‑8) showed rainfall in several counties—Bungoma, Makueni, Kitui, Homa Bay, Kakamega, Embu, Siaya and Nyamira—highlighting the variability of weather patterns across Kenya.

Specific measurements recorded include 85.5 mm of rain over seven days at Nzukini Secondary School in Machakos, while Lodwar’s meteorological station logged a peak temperature of 37.7 °C on 4 Nov.

KMSA urged residents to monitor official forecasts, take precautions in areas expecting heavy rain, stay alert for possible flooding, and adopt measures to cope with high daytime heat and cool night temperatures.
