As Nairobi's weather becomes increasingly unpredictable, it's essential to be prepared for any situation. According to experts, global warming is a significant contributor to this phenomenon, making it challenging to predict seasons and weather patterns.
Published on November 26, 2019, KBC offered some valuable advice on how to dress for the unpredictable weather.
Choose the Right Fabrics ¶
When it comes to clothing, opt for lightweight fabrics such as cotton that dry quickly when wet. Avoid heavy fabrics like denim and wool, which can make you miserable in the rain or heat.
Wear the Correct Colors ¶
White clothing may not be the best choice for rainy days, as it can make you appear exposed. Instead, opt for strong, bold colors that can withstand the elements.
Check Your Soles ¶
Make sure your shoes have rubber soles to prevent slipping and falling. Additionally, choose shoes with tough, water-repellent materials to keep your feet dry.
Use Waterproof Bags ¶
Carry a waterproof bag to protect your belongings from the rain. This will prevent your laptop, phone, or other essential items from getting damaged.
Layer Up ¶
Wear lightweight, layered clothing that can be easily removed when the sun comes out. This will keep you comfortable in both hot and cold weather.
Don't forget to carry a raincoat and umbrella to be fully prepared for any weather condition.
