The Kenya Meteorological Department (KMD) has forecast rainfall in several parts of the country over the next seven days, warning residents in 47 counties to prepare for changing weather conditions between November 3 and 10, 2026.

The weekly forecast indicates that different parts of the country will receive rainfall, although the showers may not be experienced uniformly across the affected counties. Residents have been encouraged to monitor local weather updates and plan their daily activities according to the expected conditions.

Morning rains accompanied by afternoon showers and thunderstorms are expected over the Highlands West of the Rift Valley, the Lake Victoria Basin and the Rift Valley.

The counties expected to receive rainfall include Bungoma, Busia, Kakamega, Vihiga, Kisumu, Siaya, Homa Bay, Migori, Kisii, Nyamira, Kericho, Nandi, Bomet, Nakuru, Baringo, Elgeyo-Marakwet, Trans Nzoia, Uasin Gishu and West Pokot.

Residents in these areas should remain prepared for rainfall, particularly during the afternoon when showers and thunderstorms may develop in some locations.

Cold and cloudy conditions with morning rains giving rise to sunny intervals are expected over the Highlands East of the Rift Valley, including Nairobi County. The affected counties include Nyeri, Nyandarua, Kirinyaga, Murang’a, Kiambu, Embu, Meru, Tharaka-Nithi and Laikipia. Nairobi is also among the areas expected to receive rainfall during the week.

In northern and northeastern Kenya, the forecast includes Garissa, Wajir, Mandera, Marsabit, Isiolo and Samburu, which are also expected to receive rainfall during the seven-day period.
