About Nairobi Weather
Nairobi sits at 5,889 feet elevation on the edge of the Great Rift Valley, giving it Africa's most temperate capital city climate. Despite being just 1° south of the equator, temperatures average 65–75°F year-round. The city has two rainy seasons: long rains (March–May) and short rains (October–December). Elevation creates significant diurnal swings — warm afternoons and cool nights. The Nairobi River valley and Karura Forest create green corridors that moderate temperatures in northern suburbs.
