Flood Check

Nairobi flood, 5 to 8 Mar 2026

Kaloleni: how deep did the water get?

In the Flood Check model of the Nairobi flood of 5 to 8 March 2026, little water settled in Kaloleni: even the wettest tenth stayed dry.

The model has no river channels: water that reaches a river valley stays there, so depths beside the Nairobi, Mathare and Ngong rivers are higher than the real water was. It has no blocked drains either. Check the exact street.

Pin the exact address on the 3D map to see its depth for every hour of the flood. Water can sit on one street and miss the next, so check the address, not only the area. Ask neighbours how high the water got, and visit after heavy rain.
