The Kenya Meteorological Service Authority (KMSA) released a weather update on Tuesday, 10 November 2026, projecting rainfall across eight regions of the country for the coming week.

The forecast covers the Highlands East and West of the Rift Valley, the Lake Victoria Basin, the Rift Valley proper, the Southeastern Lowlands, the Coast, as well as Northeastern and Northwestern Kenya.

KMSA indicated that isolated locations could record cumulative rainfall totals exceeding 120 mm during the seven‑day period.

High daytime temperatures above 35 °C are expected in several counties, while night‑time lows may drop below 10 °C in parts of the central highlands such as Meru, Nyeri, Nyandarua and Nakuru.

Counties highlighted for heavy rain include Garissa, Wajir, Tana River, Lamu, Kilifi, Isiolo, Marsabit, Samburu and Turkana, prompting the agency to advise residents to remain alert to possible flooding and related hazards.

KMSA also reminded Kenyans to take appropriate measures to cope with elevated daytime heat and unusually cold nights.

The outlook follows a monthly forecast issued on 31 October that described November as a critical month of the October–November–December short‑rain season, vital for agriculture, water‑resource replenishment and livelihoods.

KMSA noted that rainfall distribution this month will be influenced by large‑scale climate drivers such as the Indian Ocean Dipole, the El Niño‑Southern Oscillation and intra‑seasonal atmospheric systems.
