Jhansi
India
Jhansi is projected to face severe climate hazards that threaten its environmental stability and public health. The city is anticipated to experience extreme heat and dangerous heat extremes, resulting in increased health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations. Heavy rainfall events and frequent heavy precipitation will likely lead to flooding, soil erosion, and water management challenges. Additionally, prolonged drought conditions are expected to reduce water availability and negatively impact agricultural productivity. The convergence of these climate risks underscores Jhansi's critical need for adaptive strategies to mitigate the detrimental effects of these climate projections. In summary, the city faces a future marked by significant climate variability and challenges that necessitate urgent attention and action.
Hazard Outlook
How will Jhansi's projected climate hazards compare to other cities under a 3.0°C future warming scenario?
Maximum Temperature
Jhansi's projected maximum temperature of 12.1°C is among the highest of all cities globally under a 3.0°C warming scenario.
Heavy Rainfall Days
With 12 days of heavy rainfall expected, Jhansi ranks among the highest of all cities for extreme precipitation events.
Maximum Rainfall
Jhansi's projected maximum rainfall of 16 mm is among the highest of all cities globally.
Longest Heatwave
Jhansi may experience heatwaves lasting up to 6 days, higher than most other cities.
Elevation
At 266 m elevation, Jhansi faces moderate risk from coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Exposure Summary
Adaptation Priorities
Jhansi faces high exposure to max temp, heavy rain, max rain and elevated exposure to heatwave. These areas may warrant priority attention in adaptation planning.
