Uyo
Nigeria
Uyo is projected to face a future characterized by significant climate hazards, including frequent heatwaves and heavy rainfall events. These conditions will lead to increased instances of heavy precipitation and prolonged droughts, resulting in heightened flooding risks. Furthermore, there will be a rise in arbovirus transmission, alongside elevated malaria risk, which could have severe implications for public health. The combination of these factors creates a challenging climate vulnerability landscape that necessitates thorough assessment and planning. With no documented technology-enabled resilience solutions identified for this city, addressing these climate risks remains critical for the well-being of its residents and the sustainability of the local ecosystem.
Hazard Outlook
How will Uyo's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Temperature
Uyo's projected maximum temperature of 9.7°C is higher than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 11 days of heavy rainfall expected, Uyo ranks higher than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Maximum Rainfall
Uyo's projected maximum rainfall of 14 mm is higher than most cities globally.
Elevation
