The Kenyan climate is very pleasant and variations in altitude and terrain can create contrasts. Generally in the Highlands and the climate is cool, elsewhere the temperatures can reach approximately 35 degrees C during the day. The coast is humid and balmy.
Over most of the country there are two rainy seasons:
-The short rains which occur from late October through November.
-The longs rains which occur from late March to early June
It is possible to visit Kenya during rainy season. Few roads are affected, the parks are fresh green and there are fewer people and vehicles. Rain usually falls in the late afternoon preceded by bright, sunny and fresh days.
July and August are the coolest months and are often overcast especially in the morning. December to mid March is the warmest time
