    Nairobi has a moderate, sub-tropical highland climate classified under the Koppen system. Temperatures can drop to 10 degrees Celsius in June/July evenings and are warmest from December to March, averaging in the mid-twenties. Nairobi experiences mostly easterly winds, which some building orientations take advantage of for passive cooling during warm months. Design considerations for the site include drainage solutions for flooding during long rainy seasons and socio-economic activities.
