The weatherman has identified two regions where the ongoing rains will continue for the next three months.
The rest of the country will have rain in April and May only.
Dr David Gikungu, the director of the Meteorological department, said residents of western Kenya and the Coast can expect wet conditions through June.
The Western region comprises Siaya, Kisumu, Homabay, Migori, Kisii, Nyamira, Trans Nzoia, Baringo, Uasin Gishu, Elgeyo-Marakwet, Nandi, Nakuru, Narok, Kericho, Bomet, Kakamega, Vihiga, Bungoma, Busia and West Pokot counties.
The Coast comprises Mombasa, Kilifi and Kwale counties.
“However, the highlands East of the Rift Valley (Nyandarua, Laikipia, Nyeri, Kirinyaga, Murang'a, Kiambu, Meru, Embu, Tharaka and Nairobi) including Nairobi County and parts of the Southeastern lowlands (Ukambani) may experience occasional light rainfall in June, as the cold season sets in,” Gikungu said.
The rest of the country is expected to receive rainfall in April and May but remain generally dry in June, he said.
This rainfall, which begins this week, is expected to be above the April to June long-term means.
The Meteorological director said only a few areas of Laikipia, Nyeri, Kirinyaga, Murang'a, Kiambu, Meru, Embu, Tharaka and Nairobi counties are expected to receive rainfall in the first week of June.
The rest of June is expected to be generally cool and cloudy with occasional light rains as the cold season sets in.
The Southeastern lowlands (Ukambani and Taita Tavea) are expected to receive rainfall in April and the first half of May and remain generally dry in the second half of May and June.
Marsabit, Mandera, Wajir, Garissa and Isiolo counties are expected to receive rainfall in April and the first half of May and remain generally dry in the second half of May and June.
On the other hand, Turkana and Samburu counties will receive rainfall in April and the first half of May and remain generally dry in the second half of May and June.
“A few areas bordering Uganda and Southern Sudan may experience occasional rainfall in June. This rainfall is likely to be abo vee the April to June long-term means,” Gikungu said.
Temperatures are expected to be warmer than average over the whole country during the forecast period (April-June).
