Flood Check

Lagos flood, 28 Jun to 1 Jul 2026

Makoko: how deep did the water get?

In the Flood Check model of the Lagos flood of 28 June to 1 July 2026, the wettest tenth of Makoko had 12 cm of water or more (ankle deep), with the most water at Tue 30 Jun, 17:00. Most of the area stayed under 10 cm.

The model has no blocked drains and no water from outside its 60 m squares, so a street can flood where the model shows little. Check the exact street.
