With the cessation of short rains, the Kenya Meteorological Department says the month of January 2026 will be marked by predominantly dry weather conditions. "December 2025 typically marks the end of short rains. The rainfall was unevenly distributed across the County" reads the weather report in part.
However, a few places in Kitui County will get occassional rainfall. This is especially so in high altitude areas.
The latest weather forecast obtained by MWINGI TIMES from County Director of Meteoroloogical Services Daniel Mbithi further forecasts that the first three months of 2026 will be punctuated by sunny and dry conditions. This weather is likely to be experienced in most parts of the county. He stated that the OND rainfall season ceased and there was no onset of rainfall season.
A few areas, however, may experience occassional rainfall. There is also a likelihood of warmer than average temperatures in most parts of Kitui County between January and March.
As for this week, the maximum temperature range is expected to oscillate between 27°C and 35°C while the minimum thermometer reading will range from 14°C and 23°C.
As often predicted, strong southerly to south easterly winds will blow across most parts of the county at a speed of up to 25 knots or 12.86m/s.
