Nairobi Weather

People often have the idea that 'Africa' is extremely hot. When we lived in Djibouti, in the Horn of Africa near the Red Sea, it was very hot. The hottest city in the world in fact. But Africa is a very large continent, so different climates are found throughout. Here in Nairobi we are 5700 ft above sea level (just over a mile high). While I doubt that we'll ever have snow, the temperatures are comfortable and the humidity is low. And it allows us to have a beautiful backyard.
Here the temperature is ~ 77F (25C) and 30% humidity on sunny Monday afternoon.
