Aligarh
India
Aligarh is projected to confront several climate hazards that pose serious risks to its community. Extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes are anticipated to become more frequent, potentially leading to health crises. Additionally, the city will experience heavy rainfall events, which may result in flooding and waterlogging, exacerbating infrastructure challenges. Alongside these risks, prolonged drought conditions are expected, which could affect water availability and agriculture. The intersection of these climate hazards will heighten the city's overall vulnerability, necessitating proactive assessments of current conditions and infrastructure planning. As Aligarh faces a future marked by these climate phenomena, understanding and addressing the potential impacts becomes essential for community resilience and adaptation strategies. With these projected changes, we have not yet identified technology-enabled climate resilience solutions. Overall, Aligarh's adaptation strategies must prioritize the evolving climate landscape to mitigate risks effectively.
Hazard Outlook
How will Aligarh's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Temperature
Aligarh'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, Aligarh ranks among the highest of all cities for extreme precipitation events.
Maximum Rainfall
Aligarh's projected maximum rainfall of 13 mm is higher than most cities globally.
Longest Heatwave
Aligarh may experience heatwaves lasting up to 5 days, near the median of other cities.
Elevation
At 190 m elevation, Aligarh faces moderate risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Aligarh faces high exposure to max temp, heavy rain and elevated exposure to max rain. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
