Kenya's main rainy season occurs from late March to May. During this period, air flows from the east across both hemispheres, bringing the primary rainfall to the country.1

Outside of this season, Kenya experiences relatively dry conditions, particularly from June to August, when there is little precipitation, and from December to March, which are also generally dry despite the possibility of local rain.1
