The Kenya Meteorological Department has urged Kenyans to brace for high average temperatures during the day across most parts of the country beginning Tuesday.
A forecast for February 20 to February 26 projects temperatures of over 30°C in Turkana, Samburu, Marsabit, Mandera, Wajir, Isiolo, Garissa and Tana River counties.
Lamu, Kilifi, Mombasa, Kwale, Taita Taveta, Kajiado, Makueni, Kitui, Machakos, Nairobi, Kiambu, Embu, Laikipia and Baringo will also see average maximum temperatures of over 30°C.
Only sections of Meru, Tharaka Nithi, Murang’a, Nyeri, Nyandarua, Nakuru, Elegeyo Marakwet, Trans Nzoia and West Pokot are expected to experience average maximum temperatures of below 25°C.
Kenya has been experiencing increased day-time and night-time temperatures as the heavy rainfall that was recorded from late last year when the region was experiencing the El Nino phenomenon has subsided.
