Sargodha
Pakistan
Sargodha is projected to face significant climate risks, primarily characterized by extreme heat and prolonged drought conditions. As dangerous heat extremes become more frequent and severe, the impacts on public health and agricultural productivity will intensify. Prolonged droughts are anticipated to exacerbate water scarcity, leading to further declines in food security and local livelihoods. The interaction between extreme heat and drought will compound existing vulnerabilities, increasing economic and social strains on the community. These evolving climate hazards highlight the urgent need for strategies to address their impacts, although we have not yet identified technology-enabled climate resilience solutions specific to Sargodha. The city's ability to adapt to these projected challenges is crucial for safeguarding its future.
Hazard Outlook
How will Sargodha's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Temperature
Sargodha's projected maximum temperature of 12.5°C is among the highest of all cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Longest Heatwave
Sargodha may experience heatwaves lasting up to 5 days, higher than most other cities.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 10 days of heavy rainfall expected, Sargodha ranks near the median of cities for extreme precipitation events.
Maximum Rainfall
Sargodha's projected maximum rainfall of 10 mm is near the median of cities globally.
Elevation
At 192 m elevation, Sargodha faces moderate risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Sargodha faces high exposure to max temp and elevated exposure to heatwave. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
