Kenya Meteorological Department, in its latest weather forecast, says the onset of rain season in Kitui County will be between the third and fourth week of November 2025. The season will last for a month (30days), the forecast further shows.
A general outlook of below normal rainfall is expected. It will be poorly distributed both in time and space. "However, a few areas may experience occasional rainfall at the beginning of the month which will be followed by a dry spell", said KMD Director for Kitui County Dr Daniel Mbithi.
Consequently, since the weather forecast is predicted to be below normal, farmers should grow drought tolerant crops such as sorghum, millet, cowpeas and green grams.
Due to the challenges of climate change, residents were advised to harvest water during the upcoming wet period.
Throughout this season, locals and visitors are cautioned about prevalence of strong winds blowing in the southern and south easterly direction at a speed of over 25 knots or 12.86m/s.
