Weather Updates – Your Go‑To Spot for African Forecasts

Looking for a simple way to know what the sky will do today? This page pulls the freshest weather reports from across Africa and serves them up in plain English. No jargon, no fluff – just the facts you need to decide if you should grab an umbrella or wear a light shirt.

Every morning we refresh the temperature, chance of rain, and wind speed for major cities and rural areas alike. If you live in Johannesburg, Nairobi, Lagos, or a smaller town, the numbers you see are based on the same reliable sources that meteorologists trust.

Today's Top Weather Stories

Right now the Sahel region is dealing with an unexpected dry spell, while the coastal belt of South Africa is seeing heavy showers. In West Africa, Accra’s humidity is climbing above 80%, making it feel hotter than the actual temperature. In East Africa, Nairobi’s forecast shows a 30% chance of thunderstorms this afternoon – a good reason to keep your phone charged for weather alerts.

We also track longer‑term trends, like the slow rise in average temperatures in the Horn of Africa. Those trends matter for farmers, hikers, and anyone who plans outdoor activities months ahead.
