In this study attempts were made to fit several statistical distributions to the surface maximum, minimum and mean daily wind speed records at 24 Kenyan sites. The statistical distributions fitted included the 2 and 3 parameter Lognormal, Pearson type III, Log Pearson type III, the 2 and 3 parameter Weibull distributions. The various parameters for these distributions were obtained from the methods of moments and maximum likelihood. The goodness of fit of the various distributions were investigated at each of the 24 sites using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and x2 tests. The corresponding standard errors were also computed.
