Mombasa Weather is GORGEOUS Virtually All YearMombasa weather is gorgeous virtually all year round with temperatures fluctuating very little (24 C to 31 degrees C or 75 to 88 degrees F both during the dry and rainy seasons). April and May are the rainiest months although the "short rains" occur in October and November. You are assured of 8 hours of daylight over the entire year although the wet months are rather cloudy. Mombasa's beautiful tropical beaches, palm groves and unique tourist attractions can be enjoyed all year round. However, if you want to make the most of your safari, it is advisable to avoid both wet seasons. Planning to visit Mombasa during the rainy season does have its advantages though; the vegetation is remarkably lush and, because this is not the tourism peak season, the cost of accommodation and other items is appreciably down, the hotels are less crowded and the hotel staff are less harried and therefore more friendly.
