Manaus
Brazil
Manaus is projected to experience a future marked by significant climate hazards. The city is expected to encounter extreme heat and frequent heatwaves, leading to dangerous heat extremes that could threaten health. Simultaneously, Manaus will face increased heavy precipitation, resulting in potential flooding, along with prolonged drought conditions that could disrupt water supplies. The climate scenario is further complicated by a high risk of arbovirus transmission, which poses substantial public health challenges, alongside an elevated risk of malaria. These interconnected risks highlight Manaus's vulnerability to climate change, demanding attention in addressing these critical issues.
Hazard Outlook
How will Manaus's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Temperature
Manaus's projected maximum temperature of 9.9°C is higher than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Longest Heatwave
Manaus may experience heatwaves lasting up to 5 days, higher than most other cities.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 11 days of heavy rainfall expected, Manaus ranks higher than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Elevation
At 55 m elevation, Manaus faces elevated risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Rainfall
Manaus's projected maximum rainfall of 10 mm is near the median of cities globally.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Manaus faces elevated exposure to max temp, heatwave, heavy rain, elevation. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
