These downpours will likely be accompanied by thunderstorms, especially in the afternoons.

The Highlands East of the Rift Valley, including Nairobi, Nyandarua, Laikipia, Nyeri, Kirinyaga, Murang’a, Kiambu, Meru, Embu, and Tharaka Nithi, will experience light showers and cold, cloudy conditions. Minimum temperatures in these areas may drop to around 11°C, with chilly nights and overcast mornings.
