In the afternoons, showers and thunderstorms are expected in some places during the first half of the forecast period, increasing to several areas later in the week.
At night, partly cloudy conditions are expected, though occasional showers may occur in a few locations.
In the Highlands East of the Rift Valley, which includes Nairobi and Kiambu counties, mornings are likely to be cloudy, with occasional rains over a few places, giving way to sunny intervals.
In the afternoon, showers are likely to occur over a few places during the first half of the forecast period, increasing to several places thereafter, while the nights are expected to be partly cloudy.
At the same time, the Met Department announced that maximum daytime temperatures above 30°C are expected in the Coast, North-Eastern, North-Western Kenya, and in parts of the South-Eastern Lowlands and Western Kenya.
Meanwhile, the Central Highlands, Central Rift Valley, and areas around Mt. Kilimanjaro are expected to experience night-time minimum temperatures of below 10°C.
In the previous weather review, KMD predicted rainfall in the Highlands West and East of the Rift Valley, the Rift Valley, and the Lake Victoria Basin.
Other regions that were listed include the Coastal Region, Southeastern lowlands, Northwest, and North Eastern Kenya.
According to the weatherman, heavy rainfall of over 50mm in 24 hours was observed in Machakos, Kitui, Kilifi, Isiolo, and Murang’a Counties.
The Kivingoni Station in Machakos County recorded the highest 24-hour rainfall of 130.0mm on October 28, 2025.
On the other hand, Garissa recorded the highest daily maximum temperature of 38.6°C on October 27, while Nyahururu recorded the lowest minimum temperature of 9.3°C on October 28.
On October 26, the Met Department warned of heavy rainfall and strong winds in parts of the country as the Chenge tropical system moves closer to the East African coast.
"CHENGE, located about 500 km north of Madagascar, continues to weaken as it moves west across the northern Mozambique Channel. Despite its weakening, the system’s proximity to the coast may influence local weather conditions over southern coastal Kenya and Tanzania early in the week," the statement read.
The department also said the areas along the south coast could experience intense rainfall accompanied by strong winds exceeding 25 knots as the system dissipates.
