Kenya will see scattered rain from 24–30 March 2026, with amounts easing as the week progresses. Several regions face daytime heat above 30°C, while central highlands see cooler nights below 10°C.
The weatherman raised concerns over possible flash floods, landslides and disruptions to transport and infrastructure.
NTSA urged motorists to adapt their driving to the current weather conditions. Drivers are advised to keep a safe distance from vehicles ahead, reduce speed, and avoid sudden braking on wet surfaces.
Regions most at risk include the Lake Victoria Basin, Rift Valley, Central Highlands—including Nairobi—and South-Eastern Lowlands, where heavy to very heavy rainfall exceeding 50 millimeters is expected.
The department noted that night-time (minimum) average temperatures are expected to be less than 10°C in some parts of the Highlands East and West of the Rift Valley, the Rift Valley and in the vicinity of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
According to the forecast, weather conditions are expected to shift as the week progresses, with much of the country experiencing dry and sunny conditions.
In particular, mornings are likely to see rain over the Highlands west of the Rift Valley, Lake Victoria Basin, and the Rift Valley, with isolated showers predicted in the afternoons and evenings. The Highlands east of the Rift Valley are expected to have cloudy mornings with light rains, giving way to sunny intervals, while afternoon and night showers are also likely in some areas.
Along the Coast, widespread showers are forecast across Kwale, Mombasa, Kilifi, and Tana River. Some areas, especially southern Kwale and parts of Kilifi, could exceed 100mm, creating an elevated risk of flooding in poorly drained and low-lying areas.
The Air Passenger Service Charge (Amendment) Bill, 2025, tabled by Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah, seeks to expand the list of agencies receiving the levy to include the weather department.
Coastal counties such as Mombasa, Kilifi, Lamu and Kwale, along with coastal parts of Tana River, will experience similar conditions.
