Bikaner
India
Bikaner is projected to face severe climate hazards, notably extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes, which will intensify in the coming years. These conditions threaten public health, increasing the risk of heat-related illnesses among residents. Furthermore, the city is expected to experience prolonged drought conditions, leading to diminished water resources and challenges for local agriculture and livelihoods. The convergence of these risks indicates a future where inhabitants must navigate significant environmental stress and resource insecurity. Without technology-enabled climate resilience solutions documented, addressing these vulnerabilities remains a critical concern for Bikaner's future sustainability and well-being.
Hazard Outlook
How will Bikaner's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Temperature
Bikaner's projected maximum temperature of 12.4°C is among the highest of all cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Longest Heatwave
Bikaner may experience heatwaves lasting up to 5 days, higher than most other cities.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 10 days of heavy rainfall expected, Bikaner ranks near the median of cities for extreme precipitation events.
Elevation
At 227 m elevation, Bikaner faces moderate risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Maximum Rainfall
Bikaner's projected maximum rainfall of 7 mm is lower than most cities globally.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Bikaner faces high exposure to max temp and elevated exposure to heatwave. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
