The forecast indicates that Nairobi and its neighboring areas will experience sunny daytime conditions on Tuesday and Wednesday, with cloudy nights and afternoon or evening showers continuing through Saturday. Maximum temperatures are expected to reach 29°C, while minimum temperatures could drop to 5°C.

Other areas, including Kitui, Makueni, Machakos, Kajiado, Taita Taveta, and inland Tana River, are likely to experience scattered rainfall throughout the week, with temperatures ranging between 15°C and 34°C.
