    Mild and partly cloudy. The capital region enjoys a comfortable evening climate (20โ€“24ยฐC) with good visibility.

  3. Coastal Belt (Mombasa):
    Humid and breezy. No significant rain expected, but clouds will persist overnight.

  4. Northeastern Kenya (Garissa):
    Hottest and driest โ€” clear skies, high winds, and low humidity make it favorable for night-sky observation.

๐ŸŒ• Astronomical Outlook

With International Observe the Moon Night (Oct 4) and the Harvest Supermoon approaching (Oct 6โ€“7):

  • Best visibility: Garissa, Nairobi, Nakuru, and Mombasa (less cloud cover).

  • Partial visibility: Kisumu, Kericho, and Eldoret (occasional thunderstorms).

๐ŸŒก๏ธ Summary

Kenyaโ€™s weather this evening is a blend of:

  • Cool, humid skies in the west

  • Warm, partly cloudy in the central and coastal regions

  • Hot and windy in the northeast

Despite scattered showers, moonwatchers across Kenya should expect short cloud breaks suitable for glimpsing the waxing gibbous Moon, especially after 8:00 p.m..
