Forecast

Kismayo has a hot, tropical climate throughout the year. The Indian Ocean keeps temperatures from changing sharply, especially near the coast. Sea breezes bring moist air, but rainfall is often limited and uneven.

Air pressure changes as the sun shifts north and south during the year. This movement helps guide monsoon winds and the meeting zone of large air masses. When moist winds move in from the ocean, clouds and rain become more likely. High pressure and drier winds bring clearer skies during the dry seasons.

Kismayo usually has two rainy seasons. The main rains, called the Gu rains, often come from April to June. A shorter rainy season, called the Deyr rains, often occurs from October to December. The Jilaal season from December to March is usually hot and very dry, while the Hagaa season from July to September is also mostly dry, with strong winds and humid coastal air.

Kismayo lies on a low, mostly flat coastal plain near the Jubba River and the Indian Ocean. The ocean adds moisture and helps cool the coast slightly. Farther inland, the land is hotter and drier, and rainfall becomes less reliable. The river supports greener land near Kismayo than in many nearby areas.
