Brace Yourselves – Nairobi Is Cold, Wet, and Unpredictable!

To all our friends planning to visit Kenya over the next couple of months (and even into August) – here’s a heads-up: Nairobi is cold right now! And not the kind of cold you pack a light sweater for – we’re talking cold mornings, chilly winds, and frequent showers that make you question if you’re still in Africa!

Yes, it’s that time of year when Nairobi’s weather decides to be a little dramatic. Rains come and go without warning, the skies stay grey more than blue, and the breeze? Let’s just say you’ll want more than a hoodie. Whether you’re arriving for a safari, a business trip, or just here to explore the culture and cuisine, prepare accordingly.

Here’s what you need to pack:

Warm clothing: Think sweaters, jackets, scarves – the whole deal.

Umbrella or raincoat: Sudden downpours are the order of the day.

Comfortable closed shoes: Wet feet are no fun on the move.

Layering options: Some days start cold, warm up slightly, then get cold again. Layers will be your best friend.

Locals are used to this seasonal shift, but if it’s your first time in Nairobi, the surprise might catch you off guard. Still, this moody weather doesn’t dull the city’s charm. From cozy cafes to vibrant markets and indoor art galleries, there’s still a lot to experience — just don’t forget your warm gear.

So, dear visitor, brace yourself and come prepared. Nairobi is waiting – cold, yes – but still warm at heart

Karibu Kenya!
