Panipat
India
Panipat is projected to experience serious climate hazards, with extreme heat becoming increasingly common. Dangerous heat extremes threaten public health and exacerbate urban challenges. The city will likely face heavy rainfall events and frequent heavy precipitation, which can result in flooding, impacting infrastructure. Prolonged drought conditions are also anticipated, jeopardizing water resources and agriculture, thereby straining the local economy and food security. Collectively, these climate hazards outline a challenging future where Panipat's resilience will be tested across various sectors. Addressing these risks is critical for safeguarding the community against the multifaceted impacts of climate change.
Hazard Outlook
How will Panipat's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Temperature
Panipat's projected maximum temperature of 11.7°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, Panipat ranks among the highest of all cities for extreme precipitation events.
Maximum Rainfall
Panipat's projected maximum rainfall of 13 mm is higher than most cities globally.
Longest Heatwave
Panipat may experience heatwaves lasting up to 4 days, near the median of other cities.
Elevation
At 248 m elevation, Panipat faces moderate risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Panipat faces high exposure to max temp, heavy rain and elevated exposure to max rain. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
