Mansoura
Egypt
Mansoura is projected to face multiple climate hazards, significantly affecting public health and safety. Frequent heatwaves are expected to increase the incidence of heat-related illnesses, putting vulnerable populations at risk. The city will also experience heightened transmission risks for arboviruses, potentially leading to outbreaks of diseases like dengue and Zika. Moreover, the elevation in malaria risk introduces additional health challenges, particularly as environmental conditions become more favorable for mosquito populations. These climate vulnerabilities underline the urgent need for effective public health strategies and emergency preparedness to mitigate the adverse impacts of these hazards on the community's well-being.
Hazard Outlook
How will Mansoura's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Longest Heatwave
Mansoura may experience heatwaves lasting up to 8 days, among the highest of all other cities.
Elevation
At 12 m elevation, Mansoura faces high risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Temperature
Mansoura's projected maximum temperature of 9.8°C is higher than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 10 days of heavy rainfall expected, Mansoura ranks near the median of cities for extreme precipitation events.
Maximum Rainfall
Mansoura's projected maximum rainfall of 2 mm is lower than most cities globally.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Mansoura faces high exposure to heatwave, elevation and elevated exposure to max temp. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
