Mangaluru
India
Mangaluru faces a future where frequent heatwaves and heavy rainfall events will increasingly affect its climate stability. The city is projected to experience prolonged drought conditions, which could threaten water resources and agriculture. Furthermore, the risk of high arbovirus transmission is expected to rise, which poses significant public health challenges. Alongside this, the city will see an elevated malaria risk, potentially leading to greater healthcare demands and economic strain. Collectively, these climate hazards present critical vulnerabilities that the city will need to navigate in the coming years. We have not yet identified technology-enabled climate resilience solutions for Mangaluru, leaving a gap in strategic planning for these anticipated challenges. Addressing these risks and developing adaptive strategies will be crucial for the city’s future resilience.
Hazard Outlook
How will Mangaluru's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Longest Heatwave
Mangaluru may experience heatwaves lasting up to 9 days, among the highest of all other cities.
Maximum Rainfall
Mangaluru's projected maximum rainfall of 20 mm is among the highest of all cities globally.
Elevation
At 16 m elevation, Mangaluru faces high risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 10 days of heavy rainfall expected, Mangaluru ranks higher than most cities for extreme precipitation events.
Maximum Temperature
Mangaluru's projected maximum temperature of 8.3°C is lower than most cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Mangaluru faces high exposure to heatwave, max rain, elevation and elevated exposure to heavy rain. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
