Weather in March
Nairobi in March is warm, green, and lively. It marks the beginning of the “long rains” season, with daytime temperatures typically ranging between 26-28°C and cooler evenings around 14-16°C. Rain usually comes in short showers rather than all-day downpours. Because Nairobi sits at a higher altitude, the climate is pleasant rather than overly humid; a light jacket or sweater is useful for mornings and evenings
What to pack
- Light, breathable clothing for warm days
- A light sweater or jacket for evenings and air-conditioned venues
- A compact umbrella or light rain jacket
- Comfortable walking shoes or trainers
- Suits needed for the conference sessions and evening functions
- A universal power adaptor (Kenya uses UK-style three-pin plugs, 240V)
