Kenya's recent coastal flooding is caused by off-season localised storms driven by moisture-laden southeasterly winds from the Indian Ocean, not by the anticipated El Niño phenomenon.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You need to adjust expectations for climate-dependent planning in Kenya's coast since flood risks can spike without El Niño. Treat localised storms as standalone drivers for operational and market risk, not just seasonal shifts.
