Ilorin
Nigeria
Ilorin is projected to face numerous climate hazards that threaten public health and the environment. The city will experience extreme heat and increasing dangerous heat extremes, leading to a rise in frequent heatwaves. These conditions will contribute to prolonged droughts, which may severely impact local agriculture and water supplies. Additionally, the region is anticipated to have a high risk of arbovirus transmission, further complicating health challenges along with an elevated risk of malaria. These interrelated climate hazards highlight significant vulnerabilities that could undermine overall community resilience, necessitating timely action to address these impending challenges.
Hazard Outlook
How will Ilorin's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Temperature
Ilorin's projected maximum temperature of 10.3°C is higher than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Longest Heatwave
Ilorin may experience heatwaves lasting up to 5 days, higher than most other cities.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 10 days of heavy rainfall expected, Ilorin ranks higher than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Maximum Rainfall
Ilorin's projected maximum rainfall of 9 mm is near the median of cities globally.
Elevation
At 277 m elevation, Ilorin faces moderate risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
