===Climate=== [[File:Rain clouds forming Nairobi.jpg|thumb|Rain clouds over estates (Dec. 2019)]] Under the [[Köppen climate classification]], Nairobi has a [[Oceanic climate|subtropical highland climate]] (Cwb). At {{convert|1795|m|ft|0}} above sea level, evenings may be cool, especially in the June/July season, when the temperature can drop to {{convert|9|C|F|0}}. The sunniest and warmest part of the year is from December to March, when temperatures average in the high-twenties [[Celsius]] during the day. The mean maximum temperature for this period is {{convert|28|C|F|0}}.<ref>{{cite web |last=United Nations |title=Travel and Visa Information |publisher=unhabitat.org |url=http://www.unhabitat.org/content.asp?typeid=19&catid=546&cid=4939 |access-date=20 June 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927034058/http://www.unhabitat.org/content.asp?typeid=19&catid=546&cid=4939 |archive-date=27 September 2007 }}</ref> There are rainy seasons, but rainfall can be moderate. The cloudiest part of the year is just after the first rainy season, when, until September, conditions are usually overcast with drizzle. As Nairobi is situated close to the equator, the differences between the seasons are minimal. The seasons are referred to as the [[wet season]] and [[dry season]]. The timing of sunrise and sunset varies little throughout the year for the same reason.<ref>{{cite web |last=Gaisma |title=Nairobi, Kenya – Sunrise, sunset, dawn and dusk times, table
