Below average rainfall expected in Southeastern counties, Met

The rain whose onset is expected to be from the third to forth week of November is expected to be below average.

"Most parts of the northeast and southeastern lowlands and coastal region are expected to receive below average rainfall", wrote Charles Mugah, for the Acting Director of Meteorological Services.

He goes on to say, "Southeastern lowland counties-Kitui, Makueni, Taita Taveta, Machakos- expected to receive intermittent rainfall throughout the season. Total rainfall amounts are likely to be below the long term average for the season. Rainfall expected to be poorly distributed both in space and time".

The government further advises Kenyans to brace for prolonged dry spells and isolated storms during the short rains which have delayed onset and early cessation tentatively set for the third or fourth week of December 2025.

During the forecast period, the weatherman further expects that temperature will be warmer than average over most parts of the country.
