Jodhpur
India
Jodhpur is projected to face significant climate hazards that threaten its environment and livability. The city will experience increasing extreme heat, including dangerous heat extremes, posing health risks to residents. In addition, Jodhpur is anticipated to encounter frequent heavy precipitation events that could overwhelm drainage systems, resulting in flooding and damage. Furthermore, prolonged drought conditions will challenge water availability and agricultural practices. Collectively, these climate risks reflect a heightened vulnerability for Jodhpur, highlighting the need for strategic adaptation measures to mitigate the impacts brought about by these evolving climate challenges.
Hazard Outlook
How will Jodhpur's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Temperature
Jodhpur's projected maximum temperature of 11.9°C is among the highest of all cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 11 days of heavy rainfall expected, Jodhpur ranks among the highest of all cities for extreme precipitation events.
Longest Heatwave
Jodhpur may experience heatwaves lasting up to 6 days, higher than most other cities.
Maximum Rainfall
Jodhpur's projected maximum rainfall of 11 mm is near the median of cities globally.
Elevation
At 233 m elevation, Jodhpur faces moderate risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Jodhpur faces high exposure to max temp, heavy rain and elevated exposure to heatwave. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
