UPS Systems in Changamwe

Where Changamwe sits in Mombasa. Of the 5 constituencies in this county we hold confirmed elevation data for, Changamwe is the highest. The county is unusually flat — 37 m separates its highest and lowest confirmed constituencies — so here the county figure and the local one agree, and altitude is not what will distinguish one site from another.

Against the county headquarters. Changamwe sits at much the same height as Mombasa and runs 1.4 °C hotter on a design day. The difference is modest, but it is real, and it moves in the direction you would expect from the terrain.

Nearby, for comparison. Likoni at 19 m, Jomvu at 21 m, Kisauni at 22 m, Mvita at 22 m. Sites within a few kilometres of each other can still differ enough to matter, which is why we size against a measured site altitude rather than a district average.

Getting there. Changamwe is roughly 427 km south-east of our Embakasi, Nairobi workshop in a straight line. Our mobile workshop covers all 47 counties, so attendance here is routine rather than exceptional.

How to read these figures. They describe Changamwe, the settlement these measurements were taken at, which is not necessarily the centre of Changamwe — treat them as a local reference point, not your site value. Derates are planning indications (about 1% per 100 m above 300 m, about 2% per 5 °C above 25 °C); the engine's own derate table governs. Elevation: GeoNames, via the Open-Meteo Geocoding API.
