In general, the weather of Nairobi is pleasant. Throughout the year, it is mostly sunny with some clouds. From June until September, the weather gets colder. Even though locals find months of July and August the coldest, after living in Washington, DC and Istanbul for so long, I do not find it cold comparing it with -10 C! So, during months of July and August the temperature can drop to 10 degrees at night. In my opinion, the most boring season is the rainy time month of April. Interesting enough, it can rain day in and day out for a couple of weeks! When I moved here, which was in the month of April, I thought it would never end! After the rainy season, the weather starts to get cooler, but there are still some sunny days though. After September, the weather shifts and starts to warm up getting ready for dry season. Short rain season is somewhere around November, although it is another rainy season, it is not nearly as bad as April and it begins to warm up again. By mid-December, the pleasant weather allows for lots of fun outdoor activities. The dry season starts somewhere around January and lasts until April. The wonderful thing about the weather here is that even though it gets warm during dry season, there is no humidity. Also, the evenings are very pleasant and you only need a light jacket.
Compared to other African cities, Nairobi has best weather with its mild climate and lack of humidity. Kids love it since they can be out in the garden throughout the whole year.
