The Kenya Meteorological Department (KMD) has issued five directives to Kenyans in its weather forecast for the week of February 25 to March 3, 2025. Kenya Met warned that the maximum average daytime temperatures will exceed 30°C over several parts of the country.

Kenyans have been advised to limit outdoor activities especially during the peak heat hours (10 AM – 4 PM).
Additionally, Kenyans are directed to dress light; wear loose and breathable clothing.
They should also keep indoors cool and all ventilate rooms.
