Indore

India

Indore is projected to encounter severe climate hazards, significantly elevating its risks and vulnerabilities. With rising temperatures, the city will face dangerous heat extremes, increasing the risk of heat-related illnesses among residents. Alongside this, heavy rainfall events and frequent intense precipitation are anticipated, potentially leading to flooding and infrastructure challenges. Prolonged drought conditions are also expected to disrupt water availability and agricultural activities. Furthermore, the region is likely to see an increase in arbovirus transmission and heightened malaria risks, raising public health concerns. These factors collectively indicate a troubling outlook for climate resilience in Indore.
