Natural Nairobi from November to December

Kenya's landscape is varied and the weather is unpredictable.  You might think Nairobi is just very hot and dry but it is the exact opposite.  In the morning it is usually raining cloudy and very cold.    Then at about nine o'clock it gets sunny with a slight breeze and it still isn't very hot.  From noon to three o'clock it gets very hot.  Finally in the evening it cools off again.

The landscape ranges from vast grasslands to lush forests.  Nairobi seems very wet from my point of view.  We went to a furniture store in the forest and it was very wet with a river flowing through it.  Instead of having brown soil it is very red. Wherever you look you will see tons of birds and maybe a monkey in the forest.

Also the seasons here in Kenya are very different from California Seasons.  July and August is winter.  January and February is dry season.  March and May is the "long rains" wet season.   June through September is dry.  October through December, the time we are here now is the "short rains" wet season.
