Flood Check

Nairobi flood, 5 to 8 Mar 2026

Mbagathi Greens Estate: 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 Mbagathi Greens Estate: the wettest tenth had 8 cm or less. The wettest road, Magadi Road, had up to 234 cm.

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.
