The weatherman noted that the most affected areas would be the Mt Kenya counties and parts of the Rift Valley.

As per the projections, the counties that will be extremely cold include parts of Nyeri, Muranga, Kirinyaga, and Laikipia.

The temperatures in some of these areas are expected to drop to 8 to 10 Degrees Celcius.

On the other hand, areas where the temperatures will range between 10 to 15 Degrees Celcius include parts of Nairobi County, Kiambu, Narok, Machakis, Nakuru, Nyandarua, Baringo, Elgeyo Marakwet, Uasin Gishu and Makueni.
