Kenya is set for a largely dry September, with the Kenya Meteorological Service warning of below-average rainfall in several food-producing counties and warmer-than-normal temperatures across the country.
The forecast, issued on August 31, shows that September will mark the transition from the relatively dry June-July-August season to the October-November-December rainfall period. Most areas are expected to remain sunny and dry, although some parts of the country will receive occasional rainfall.
Counties expected to record below-average rainfall include Trans Nzoia, Bungoma, Busia, Kakamega, Siaya, Vihiga, Nandi, Uasin-Gishu, Elgeyo-Marakwet, West Pokot, Kisumu, Kericho, Nyamira, Kisii, Bomet, Migori and Homa Bay, as well as parts of Narok, Nakuru, Baringo and Turkana.
