Watamu Weather

Watamu weather is always warm and welcoming.
The great time to visit is during the cooler winter months of July & August, when the humidity drops, the wind picks up and you might just get to snuggle in a light sweater at night.
During the rest of the year Watamu weather is warmer. The rains fall in April – June and October – November but it rarely rains the whole day.
With climate change it is increasingly hard to predict when the usually timely rains will fall.
