Maiduguri
Nigeria
Maiduguri is projected to face severe climate hazards that will significantly impact its community and environment. The city will experience extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes, leading to heightened health risks. Prolonged drought conditions are anticipated, resulting in increased water scarcity that threatens agricultural productivity and the availability of safe drinking water. Additionally, Maiduguri will likely see a higher arbovirus transmission risk due to changing climatic conditions, raising concerns about vector-borne diseases. The elevated risk of malaria, linked to these alterations, will further burden the local healthcare system and affect overall public health. These interconnected climate vulnerabilities underscore the urgent need for comprehensive understanding and planning to safeguard the city's population and resources against the anticipated impacts of climate change.
Hazard Outlook
How will Maiduguri's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Temperature
Maiduguri's projected maximum temperature of 11.3°C is among the highest of all cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Longest Heatwave
Maiduguri may experience heatwaves lasting up to 5 days, higher than most other cities.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 10 days of heavy rainfall expected, Maiduguri ranks higher than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Maximum Rainfall
Maiduguri's projected maximum rainfall of 11 mm is near the median of cities globally.
Elevation
At 324 m elevation, Maiduguri faces moderate risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Maiduguri faces high exposure to max temp and elevated exposure to heatwave, heavy rain. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
