Dharwad
India
Dharwad is projected to face significant climate hazards including extreme heat and prolonged drought conditions, which threaten both environmental stability and public health. The rising temperatures may increase energy consumption and strain resources. Additionally, the region will experience prolonged droughts that can lead to severe water scarcity, impacting agriculture and food security. Coupled with these issues, high arbovirus transmission risks and increased malaria vulnerability pose serious health concerns for the population. Given the interrelated nature of these hazards, the cumulative effect could result in heightened stress on public health systems and local economies, demanding immediate strategic planning and response measures to address these vulnerabilities effectively.
Hazard Outlook
How will Dharwad's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Longest Heatwave
Dharwad may experience heatwaves lasting up to 6 days, among the highest of all other cities.
Maximum Temperature
Dharwad's projected maximum temperature of 10.0°C is higher than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 10 days of heavy rainfall expected, Dharwad ranks near the median of cities for extreme precipitation events.
Maximum Rainfall
Dharwad's projected maximum rainfall of 10 mm is near the median of cities globally.
Elevation
At 726 m elevation, Dharwad faces lower risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Dharwad faces high exposure to heatwave and elevated exposure to max temp. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
