The climate of Nakuru (Kenya)
Nakuru is a large city located in the southwestern part of Kenya. The
region was originally inhabited by the Masai (Maasai) people. Just
outside the city Lake Nakuru can be found. This lake is a Unesco world
heritage site. Many animal species live here. Large flocks of
flamingos live here, sometimes there are more than a million of them.
The region is also inhabited by baboons and rhinos. Two universities
can be found in Nakuru and many hotels and hostels. Just outside the
city many lodges can be found. The city is easy to reach via road and
railway. Nakuru has a tropical monsoon climate with high precipitation
figures all year round. During the first few months of the year
precipitation figures are slightly lower. Daytime temperatures are
between 22-28 degrees Celsius. Because of the altitude at which the
city is located nights may be cold. However, subzero temperatures are
uncommon.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
