Marsabit to receive scattered rains and thunderstorms this coming week.

By Samuel Kosgei

Residents of Marsabit County are expected to experience partly cloudy to cloudy conditions, with isolated to scattered rainfall and thunderstorms between November 10 and 16, 2026.

According to the county weather outlook, Marsabit Central and Saku are expected to receive between 10 and 30 millimetres of rainfall, while Moyale Sub-County could record the highest amounts of between 10 and 35 millimetres, particularly in the Sololo highlands and areas near the Ethiopian border.

Laisamis is forecast to receive between 5 and 25 millimetres, while North Horr, Turbi and surrounding areas are expected to record between 5 and 20 millimetres. Kargi and South Horr could receive between 10 and 25 millimetres, while Loiyangalani is expected to remain predominantly hot and sunny, with minimal rainfall of between zero and 10 millimetres.

The forecast indicates that the anticipated rainfall could gradually improve pasture, browse and water availability in several parts of the county, offering some relief to pastoralist communities. However, uneven rainfall distribution is likely to leave some lowland areas dry.

Residents in Moyale and other low-lying areas have also been cautioned about possible localized flash flooding during periods of heavy rainfall, while strong winds could cause blowing dust and reduced visibility, particularly in exposed areas.

Along the Lake Turkana belt, strong easterly to northeasterly winds are expected to persist, potentially resulting in rough lake conditions, while high temperatures are likely to continue.
