Alwar
India
Alwar is projected to face significant climate hazards, primarily characterized by extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes. These conditions will likely become more severe, presenting serious health risks to the population and straining local resources. Moreover, Alwar will experience prolonged drought conditions, which threaten water supplies and could adversely affect agricultural productivity. The increasing frequency and intensity of these climate risks highlight profound vulnerabilities within the city. Without documented technology-enabled climate resilience solutions, addressing these challenges will be paramount in safeguarding the community's health and livelihoods in the future. Attention to these climate hazards is critical for planning and adaptation efforts to protect the city's inhabitants.
Hazard Outlook
How will Alwar's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Temperature
Alwar's projected maximum temperature of 11.4°C is among the highest of all cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 10 days of heavy rainfall expected, Alwar ranks higher than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Longest Heatwave
Alwar may experience heatwaves lasting up to 4 days, near the median of other cities.
Maximum Rainfall
Alwar's projected maximum rainfall of 9 mm is near the median of cities globally.
Elevation
At 259 m elevation, Alwar faces moderate risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Alwar faces high exposure to max temp and elevated exposure to heavy rain. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
