The weather in June
What the season does to Diani Beach this month.
Worth knowing
Long Rains on the Coast
April to June is the coast's wet season, heaviest in May: humid, with heavy downpours, rough seas and cloudy water for the reef trips. Some smaller hotels close or renovate; those open are at their cheapest.
Heads up
Kusi Wind: Rough Sea and Seaweed
The south-east kusi monsoon blows from about June to September: good for kitesurfing, but the sea is choppier, the reef water cloudier, and seaweed washes up on the beach. Dhow and glass-bottom-boat trips can be cancelled. The calmest, clearest sea is from about December to March, under the lighter kaskazi wind.

Entry rules
E-visa before you fly for up to 90 days, about ₹3,270
- At least 3 working days before you fly (you can apply up to 3 months ahead), apply for the Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) at etakenya.go.ke: passport photo page, a recent photo, your return ticket and hotel or safari booking. The fee is US$30 plus bank and processing charges (about US$34 in all), paid by card. Save the approval; airlines check it at boarding.
- At least 10 days before leaving India, get a yellow fever vaccination at a government-authorised centre (Airport or Port Health Organisation, or a listed hospital) and keep the yellow International Certificate of Vaccination with your passport. India asks for it when you land back from Kenya; without it you can be quarantined for up to 6 days.
- At immigration in Nairobi or Mombasa, show your passport, the eTA approval and your return ticket. The eTA is for a single entry; you are admitted for up to 90 days.
Carry: Passport valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive, with a blank page; eTA approval (printout or on your phone); Yellow fever vaccination certificate (the yellow card), needed by India on your return; Return or onward ticket; Hotel or safari bookings for the stay.
Kenya has no visa on arrival: without an approved eTA the airline will not board you. Kenya waived the eTA for most African nationals in 2025, not for Indians. Sources disagree on whether 90 days is the stay or the validity from approval, and on the processing charge: check the approval and the fee shown at etakenya.go.ke, and ignore look-alike sites.
Checked 2026-10; confirm with the embassy before you fly.
