Kenyan fears over El Niño
Residents of Nairobi’s Kibera settlement fear renewed flooding as Kenya’s short rainy season begins, after earlier floods killed more than 60 people, including Agnes Shikoli’s sister. Authorities are clearing rivers and drains, but Nairobi’s ageing drainage system is inadequate for the city’s growth; officials estimate up to 100,000 people in low-income settlements could be at risk. A regional forecast cited an 81% probability of a very strong El Niño during October–December 2026, which could bring unusually heavy rain.
