Sohag
Egypt
Sohag is projected to face severe climate hazards, including extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes. The city is expected to experience frequent heatwaves, significantly affecting public health and increasing the risk of heat-related illnesses. Prolonged drought conditions are also anticipated, which will create challenges for water availability and agricultural viability. This combination of extreme temperatures and drought could threaten the local economy and exacerbate the vulnerabilities of the community. Currently, technology-enabled solutions have not yet been documented for climate resilience in the city, limiting its ability to adapt to these changing conditions. As climate change accelerates, Sohag must address these growing risks to protect its residents and sustain its infrastructure over time.
Hazard Outlook
