Pilibhit
India
Pilibhit is projected to face multiple climate hazards that threaten its ecosystem and public health. The city will experience extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes, impacting residents particularly during peak summer months. Heavy rainfall events and frequent precipitation are forecasted, leading to increased flood risks and potential damage to infrastructure. Furthermore, prolonged drought conditions may occur, adversely affecting water resources, agriculture, and food security. These climatic changes are compounded by a high arbovirus transmission risk, raising concerns about vector-borne diseases in the region. This complex interplay of climate risks highlights the vulnerability of Pilibhit to future environmental changes and necessitates careful monitoring and planning for adaptive measures.
Hazard Outlook
How will Pilibhit's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
