Kenya Weather Update: KMD Forecast for October 8–12, 2026

Kelvin Kibet

Updated October 9, 2026: The September 29–October 5 forecast in this article has expired. Kenya Meteorological Department’s newer five-day bulletin, issued October 6 and valid October 8–12, expects light to moderate rainfall in several counties. Forecasts change, so check KMD’s latest bulletin before travel or outdoor work.

What the current KMD bulletin says

KMD’s county-by-county outlook describes different conditions at different times of day; it does not predict the same rainfall across every county. For October 9, the bulletin forecasts moderate showers at times in Mombasa and Kwale. The forecast also includes showers with thunder and lightning in counties such as Kisumu, Kakamega and Bungoma. These are forecast conditions, not a guarantee of what any specific neighbourhood will experience.

The bulletin covers October 8–12 and gives morning, afternoon and night conditions plus maximum and minimum temperatures for individual counties. For example, it lists maximum temperatures of 28°C in Mombasa and 31°C in Kisumu on October 9. Check the county row and time of day that apply to your plans.

How to use a short-range forecast

  • Open the latest county forecast on the day you plan to travel or work outdoors; a five-day bulletin becomes less useful after its validity dates.
  • For a farm decision, consult KMD’s agrometeorological advisories as well as the short-range forecast.
  • During rain or thunderstorms, allow extra travel time, avoid crossing moving floodwater, and follow local emergency instructions.
  • Use forecasts for planning, not as a substitute for real-time warnings or local observations.
