        Low? That’s within a few dozen meters of the US average.

        Of course, Nairobi - Kenya’s largest city - is 1,795 m. About 200 m higher than Denver. But that’s averages for you.

          In that case, comparing it to the US, we would expect their relative temperature to be the same as if they weren’t on a plateau. You’re accounting for Africa’s temp difference due to height but not doing the same for other places.

      That would lower the temperature by about 5 degrees Celsius compared to sea level, which doesn’t help enough with African temperatures.
