The Kenya Meteorological Department has answered concerns by Kenyans about the phenomenon that makes July a generally colder month than other months.
In a statement on Monday, July 28, the weatherman outlined four terrestrial and atmospheric factors that cause July to be colder. "The real drivers of our cold and cloudy July conditions are terrestrial and atmospheric factors," part of the statement read.
Firstly, Kenya Met highlighted the stratified cloud cover that dominates skies over the central highlands, Nairobi, parts of the Rift Valley, and southeastern Kenya.
