El Niño Climate & Flood Risk Context

Kenya experiences heightened rainfall and heightened flood hazards during El Niño events, particularly during the October–December short rains season. Teleconnections are intensified when positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) anomalies coincide with Pacific warming. In Malindi, flood risk increases when antecedent soil moisture prevents rainwater from infiltrating, forcing runoff into local municipal drains and river channels.
