Kenya

What's the weather like in Kenya in June? Kenya has opposite seasons to the UK as it’s in the southern hemisphere, and it’s the start of winter in June. The East African country has different landscapes which range from dry savannahs to national parks and beaches. This means that the weather is different depending on where you go, but most of the country has two wet seasons across the year. In June, temperatures are still warm and it’s generally a much drier month compared to May.
