Kenya: Climate & Weather


The climate is mainly equatorial although it is subject to regional variations.

There are two dry seasons, from December to March and from July to October, alternating with two rainy seasons from April to June and from November to December. But there are variations on this general trend: Along the coast, a humid tropical climate is softened by the monsoon winds.

In the northeast desert, dry hot weather prevails most of the time except during April and May when short showers can occur. Around Lake Victoria the climate is always humid with a little less rainfall in January and February.

In the high plains the climate is driest; hot and sunny with cold nights.

If you wish to go on safari then visit during the off-peak season (June, September and October) so you will avoid the main influx of tourists.
