Climate
|
The country’s altitude
ranging from seal level to 5,199 metres, makes its climate vary greatly
from high humid temperatures of the coast to the often cold and wet regions
of Aberdares, Cherangani and Mau Escarpment, Mt. Elgon and the freezing
points at the top of Mt. Kenya. With the Equator traversing the country,
there are no four seasons as in Europe but two rain seasons at almost the
same time of the year - the log rains from the end of October through
December. Sunshine is experienced throughout most days of the year
although it becomes cooler during the months of June, July and August.
Nairobi, the capital city, referred to as the City in the sun has an average
daily temp. of 21° 1’C (70F) and Mombasa the second largest town in
the country and situated at the coast has an average temp. of 26°C
(80°F).
