Article Synopsis
- Nairobi has diverse micro-climates, with the central business district featuring paved roads and high buildings, while informal settlements like Kibera consist of dense tin housing and limited utilities.
- A high-density observation network was deployed in 2015/2016 to analyze temperature and humidity variations across Nairobi, revealing that conditions in slums frequently exceed those at the Dagoretti observation station.
- The findings indicate that elevated temperatures and heat indexes in informal settlements could lead to higher mortality rates among vulnerable populations, and are linked to surface properties like albedo, vegetation, and elevation.
