CLIMATE OUTLOOK FOR JUNE 2025 AND A REVIEW OF  MAY 2025

The Forecast for June 2025
The June 2025 outlook predicts generally dry and sunny conditions for several parts of the country. The
Highlands west of the Rift Valley, the Lake Victoria Basin, the Central Rift Valley and parts of the Southern
Rift Valley, parts of the Highlands East of the Rift Valley (Nyandarua) and parts of Northwestern Kenya
are likely to experience above-normal cumulative rainfall. This rainfall may occasionally extend eastwards
into other parts of the Highlands east of the Rift Valley and Nairobi County. The Coastal zone is likely to
receive near normal rainfall totals. Occasional cool and cloudy conditions with light rains are expected in
the Central Highlands, Nairobi area, parts of western Kenya, the Central Rift Valley, and the Southeastern
Lowlands as the cool season gradually sets in.

Temperatures are anticipated to be higher than average across several parts of the country. However, despite
the warmer than average temperatures expected, the Central highlands, Nairobi area and parts of Kajiado
County may experience low daytime temperatures below 18°C.

Climate Review for May 2025
May 2025 marked the end of the Long Rains across most of Kenya, except in the Coastal region, parts of
Western Kenya, and a few areas in the Highland East of the Rift Valley. Near to above average rainfall was
recorded over several parts of the country except the central highlands and a few areas over Northeast and
Southeastern lowlands where below average rainfall was recorded. The month was characterized by a few
days with heavy rainfall over western Kenya, Lake Victoria Basin, the Coastal region and a few areas over
central Kenya and Isiolo County.
