On the other hand, areas near Mt. Kilimanjaro and the Central Highlands would experience low temperatures of below 10°C in the next 7 days.
Further, the weatherman warned of strong Southerly to south-easterly winds exceeding 25 knots over the Coast and Kenya’s territorial waters.
The strong winds will also be experienced in the South-eastern lowlands and the North-eastern and North-western Kenya regions.
On July 14, KMD Director David Gikungu stated that July 2025 will be colder compared to July 2024, and that the cold season is expected to extend into the first week of August.
"July 2025 will be colder than last year, which was colder than 2023, with subpar temperatures continuing through August’s first week. This prolonged cold weakens the body’s defences against respiratory infections, particularly among children and the elderly,” said Gikungu.
The weatherman advises residents to dress warmly in cold-prone areas, stay hydrated in hotter regions, and secure outdoor structures in areas likely to experience strong winds.
