Also, days are expected to be sunny and nights partly cloudy in North-western Kenya.
The Highlands East of the Rift Valley (including Nairobi County) is expected to have intermittent cloudiness in the morning giving way to sunny intervals. However, occasional afternoon showers are expected over few places with partly cloudy nights.
According to KMD, days are expected to be sunny and nights partly cloudy, with a possibility of afternoon showers occurring over few places in the South-eastern lowlands.
