Etah
India
Etah is projected to face significant climate hazards that pose serious risks to its ecological and social structures. The city will experience extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes, leading to adverse health outcomes for the population. Additionally, heavy rainfall events and frequent heavy precipitation are anticipated, raising the likelihood of flooding and damaging infrastructure. Prolonged drought conditions are also expected, further jeopardizing water availability and agricultural productivity. These evolving climate challenges underscore the vulnerabilities the city faces, necessitating a thorough understanding and heightened awareness of the risks associated with these climate phenomena. As such, systemic approaches are critical to address these vulnerabilities effectively.
Hazard Outlook
How will Etah's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Temperature
Etah's projected maximum temperature of 11.8°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, Etah ranks among the highest of all cities for extreme precipitation events.
Maximum Rainfall
Etah's projected maximum rainfall of 13 mm is higher than most cities globally.
Longest Heatwave
Etah may experience heatwaves lasting up to 5 days, near the median of other cities.
Elevation
At 168 m elevation, Etah faces moderate risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
