Climate & Weather in Kenya

Flag of Kenya
 

Other than April and May, which usually are quite rainy, Kenya's climate makes this country a year-round destination. Temperature, rainfall and humidity vary widely in Kenya. Generally the coastal areas are tropical with monsoon winds, the lowlands are hot but mainly dry, while the highlands are more temperate with four seasons. Nairobi has a very pleasant climate throughout the year due to its altitude.
